Guillain–Barré and Miller Fisher syndromes—new diagnostic classification

Several distinct autoimmune neuropathies can be referred to collectively as Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). Wakerley and colleagues argue that confusing terminology hinders diagnosis, and they present a revised classification of 'classic' GBS, Miller Fisher syndrome and related conditions. This new approach to diagnosis might facilitate work-up, thereby helping to identify the correct treatment as quickly as possible.
