Miller Fisher syndrome is a rare, acquired nerve disease that is considered to be a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. It is characterized by abnormal muscle coordination, paralysis of the eye muscles, and absence of the tendon reflexes. Like Guillain-Barré syndrome, symptoms may be preceded by a viral illness. Additional symptoms include generalized muscle weakness and respiratory failure. The majority of individuals with Miller Fisher syndrome have a unique antibody that characterizes the disorder.

The ataxia is produced by peripheral sensory nerve dysfunction and not by cerebellar injury. Facial weakness and sensory loss may also occur. The process is mediated by autoantibodies directed against a component of myelin found in peripheral nerves .

Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) Epidemiology - Most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in Western countries - Overall incidence 1-2/100,000; up to 8.6/100,000 in elderly population - All age groups can be affected, however, more common in elderly - Bimodal peak, small peak in young adults and larger peak in elderly; rare in infancy - 75% have an antecedent ‘event’ 1-4 weeks before onset of weakness: respiratory (68%), GI (22%), resp and GI (10%), surgery (2%), vaccination or pregnancy - Associated organisms: CMV, EBV, VZV, HIV, C. jejuni , M. pneumoniae , Shigella Clinical course - Initial paresthesias in fingers / toes followed by weakness - Weakness rapidly worsens, sensory loss usually minimal - Usually symmetric, though can be asymetric initially - Classically distal weakness ascending up legs and arms, but proximal weakness not uncommon at onset - Cranial nerve involvement (unilateral or bifacial weakness 50%, oculomotor paralysis 5%, characteristic in Miller Fisher Syndrome) - 66% reach nadir in 2 weeks, 92% in 3 weeks; by definition MUST peak at 4 weeks - Brief plateau phase then improvement and gradual resolution over weeks to months Complications Respiratory weakness / failure 20-30% will need intubation at some point during admission Autonomic dysfunction (in up to 65%) including: Arrythmias (sinus tachycardia, brady and tachy arrythmias)

Author: Doctor Pieter A. van Doorn Scientific Editor: Professor Marianne de Visser Creation date: March 2003 Disease name and synonyms Excluded diseases Other diseases that may give rise to rapid progressive weakness have to be excluded or made unlikely. The main disorders that may give rapid progressive weakness are electrolyte disturbances (hypophosphatemia, hyperkalemia), porphyria, polymyositis or necrotising myopathies, Lyme borreliosis, myasthenia gravis and poliomyelitis. Diagnosis criteria / definition GBS is a neuropathy characterized by a rapidly progressive weakness (and mostly also sensory disturbances) in at least 2 legs, and low or absent tendon reflexes. Cranial nerves may be affected. The maximal level of weakness is reached within 4 weeks, meaning that the duration of progression is at most 4 weeks. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination mostly shows an increased protein level, but no increased number of cells. Other causes of rapid progressive weakness need to be excluded or must be unlikely. Differential diagnosis History taking, standard blood tests and cerebrospinal fluid examination – in general – are sufficient to exclude other diseases.

53. Campylobacter Symptoms, Risks And Treatment As many as 40% of GuillainBarré syndrome cases in this country occur following campylobacteriosis.2 miller fisher syndrome is another, related neurological http://www.foodborneillness.com/ecoli1/campylobacter-symptoms.htm

What are the symptoms of Campylobacter? Diarrhea is the most consistent and prominent manifestation of campylobacteriosis. It is often bloody.1 Typical symptoms of C. jejuni infection also include fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and muscle pain. A majority of cases are mild and do not require hospitalization and may be self-limited. However, C. jejuni infection can be severe and life threatening. Death is more common when other diseases (e.g., cancer, liver disease, and immuno-deficiency diseases) are present. Children under the age of five and young adults aged 15-29 are the age groups most frequently affected. The incubation period (the time between exposure and onset of the first symptom) is typically two to five days, but onset may occur in as few as 2 days or as long as 10 days after ingestion.1 The illness usually lasts no more than one week; however, severe cases may persist for up to three weeks. Are there long term consequences of Campylobacter?

Neuroland Neurology information Click on the brain to index page Search NeuroLand Neuro disease Notes ... Neuro Med Autoantibody testing in Neuropathy Initial evaluation of Neuropathy: history, examination and electrodiagnostic studies to define the neuropathy symmetric vs. asymmetric sensory vs. motor axonal or demyelinating and if conduction block is present If the etiology for the PN is not apparent, check a serum SPEP and IFE for monoclonal protein Urine testing for a paraprotein is done in some cases, particularly patients with primarily small-fiber sensory or autonomic involvement. Sensory or sensorimotor PN Demyelinating neuropathy with IgM gammopathy: particularly if there is prolonged distal latencies, anti-MAG testing is performed. Early in the course, these patients have sensory greater than motor deficits that are primarily distal. Most patients with positive anti-MAG will have an IgM monoclonal protein. Pure sensory syndromes (Ganglionopathy): Especially if asymmetric, rapidly progressive, sensory loss involving proprioception.
