Hi,

Advances in the field of Guillain-Barre Syndrome are immunoglobin as the first line of treatment for GB syndrome.

Next is anti ganglioside antibody evaluation in diagnosis of subtypes of GB syndrome.

Yes it is true GB syndrome can occur following vaccination.It is broadly believed that immune stimulation plays a role in its pathogenesis. Thus, since vaccines have an effect on the immune system it is biologically possible that immunizations may be associated with subsequent GBS.

Swine flu vaccination , Older type of Rabies vaccine, meningo coccal vaccine are associeted with GB syndrome

Hope this will help you

Regards
