摘要: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune-mediated polyneuropathy preceded by infections. Campylobacter jejuni the most frequent pathogen and its lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces antibodies cross-reactive with gangliosides. In this study we assessed whether known functional polymorphisms in LPS receptors CD14 Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) are associated increased susceptibility for GBS or C. serology related clinical serological features. Comparison of genotypes 242 patients 210 healthy subjects showed that TLR4 did not confer disease were infection.
