Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between hepatitis E serology and neurocysticercosis (NCC) in neurologic patients in Lima, Perú, from 2008 to 2012.
- It found that 23.8% of patients with NCC tested positive for anti-hepatitis E IgG, which was significantly higher than the 14.3% in a general rural population without NCC.
- Seropositive patients were older, with a median age of 44 years compared to 30 for seronegative patients, indicating potential common infection routes.
Objective: Several cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have been described. This study illustrated the demographic, clinical, and neurophysiological characteristics of patients with GBS and COVID-19, as well as associated factors with disability at discharge.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analytical observational study was conducted.
