dissociation

In this case, electrophysiological findings and anti-GQ1b antibodies results were not available; furthermore albuminocytologic dissociation and improvement upon IVIg treatment were consistent with the suspected diagnosis.

Cerebrospinal fluid protein is often elevated (albuminocytologic dissociation).

GBS is related to Campylobacter jejuni infections and anti-ganglioside antibodies and albuminocytologic dissociation is demonstrated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.4 Electrophysiologic findings of CIP are characterized by fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves decreased amplitudes of compound muscle and sensory nerve action potentials.3Needle electromyographic studies show fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves at rest.

Guillain--Barre syndrome was eliminated as there was no albuminocytologic dissociation by the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and there was no demyelinating disease upon EMG.

These included the lack of CSF albuminocytologic dissociation, the fact that the clinical signs occurred during the outbreak of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection rather than after it, and the fact that antibodies were not found in gangliosides.
