Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory, demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. The neurological complications of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection are usually cerebellar ataxia and other forms of encephalitis. VZV is associated with only 1% of the GBS cases. GBS may present as a clinical picture mimicking encephalitis. We report a patient with GBS who presented with altered consciousness and flaccid paralysis of the legs, three weeks after VZV infection.
