Extractions: Medline NLM definition: A variant of the GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME characterized by the acute onset of oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia, and loss of deep tendon reflexes with relative sparing of strength in the extremities and trunk. 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.

Extractions: British Society for Rheumatology S. S. Desai E. Allen and A. Deodhar Oregon Health Sciences University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, CR 119, Portland, OR 97201, USA Abstract Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder characterized by high spiking fevers, evanescent salmon-coloured rash, arthralgias or arthritis, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and sore throat. There is no specific test or combination of tests that can establish the diagnosis of AOSD and patients may present with other systemic involvement including neurological manifestations in 712% of cases. We present a complex case of a patient with AOSD who developed the Miller-Fisher variant of GuillainBarré syndrome. This immunological disorder of the nervous system has not been described in association with AOSD before. We also review the literature on other neurological

Extractions: Discussion Groups ACP Chapters Wisconsin Chapter Intro Prev Next Last Christopher P. Sobczak, M.D., Safwan Jaradeh, M.D. Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI Discussion: Miller Fisher syndrome is a variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome involving the triad: ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. The pathophysiology of the syndrome can be explained through GQ1b ganglioside autoantibodies, which are seen in 96 percent of cases of Miller Fisher Syndrome. These autoantibodies recognize epitopes expressed specifically in the nodal regions of oculomotor nerves and cerebellar neurons. Organisms such as Mycoplasma Pneumoniae and Campylobacter jejuni contain cell walls that are capable of inducing the production of these antoantibodies. Treatment is thus involved in immune modulation, through the use of IVIg, plasma exchange, and steroids. Our patient required intubation and wan treated with all three modalities over a three-month hospitalization. He eventually recovered to be discharged to long term rehabilitation.

Miller Fisher Variant Topic Guillain Barre Syndrome Subject Miller Fisher Variant I was recentlyhospitalized and diagnosed with miller fisher syndrome. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/neuro/messages/30659.html
Extractions: I was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with Miller Fisher syndrome. It began one day with distorted vision and by the next morning I could not control my motor functions and my vision was double. The neurologist ordered every tetst imaginable, blood, CT, tensilon, cranial and spinal MRIs, lumbar puncture, EMG etc. My dilemmas is, nothing unusual has shown up in the diagnostic work. All of the tests were withing the normal range. There was a very small brain lesion on the MRI but I was told, not in an area likely to cause the type of motor problems I was having. They initially began treating me with steroids for MS, but based on the presence of ophthalmoplegia and lack of reflexes, changed the diagnosis to Miller Fisher. I was given 5 days of IVIg and released. I am still weak - but can walk - although the double vision persists.
Campylobacter Jejuni : Symptoms And Risks Of Infection 6 In miller fisher syndrome, the nerves of the head are affected more than thenerves of GuillainBarre syndrome and miller fisher syndrome-associated http://www.about-campylobacter.com/campylobacter_symptoms_risks.htm
Extractions: What are the symptoms of a Campylobacter infection? Diarrhea is the most consistent and prominent manifestation of campylobacter infection. It is often bloody.[5] Typical symptoms of C. jejuni infection also include fever, nausea, and vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and muscle pain. A majority of cases are mild and do not require hospitalization and may be self-limited. However, Campylobacter 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 on 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.[5] The illness usually lasts no more than one week; however, severe cases may persist for up to three weeks, and roughly 25% of individuals experience symptom relapse. Are there long term consequences of Campylobacter infection?
