Abstract
We describe a patient with acute multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block (MMNCB) and high titers of immunoglobulin G anti-GM1 antibodies after Campylobacter jejuni enteritis. Treatment with intravenous immune globulin led to rapid improvement with return of normal function by 6 weeks. This is the first report of C. jejuni enteritis preceding MMNCB.
