Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TLDR
The data for GBS suggests that the immunologic mechanism can involve molecular mimicry, at least in some GBS variants, and it is likely that multiple mechanisms render the axon vulnerable.About:

TL;DR: A case series of 43 patients with neurological complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection includes encephalopathies, encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis with haemorrhagic change, transverse myelitis, ischaemic stroke, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

TL;DR: Ifnar1(-/-) mice sustained high viral loads in the brain and spinal cord, consistent with evidence that ZIKV causes neurodevelopmental defects in human fetuses and valuable for evaluating vaccines and therapeutics as well as understanding disease pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The evidence of ZikV infection documented by RT-PCR among patients with the Guillain-Barré syndrome during the outbreak of ZIKV infection in Colombia lends support to the role of the infection in the development of the Guillian-B Barré syndrome.

Heterogeneity of multiple sclerosis lesions: implications for the pathogenesis of demyelination.
Claudia F. Lucchinetti,Wolfgang Brück,Joseph E. Parisi,Bernd W. Scheithauer,Moses Rodriguez,Hans Lassmann +5 more
TL;DR: At a given time point of the disease, the patterns of demyelination were heterogeneous between patients, but were homogenous within multiple active lesions from the same patient, suggesting that MS may be a disease with heterogeneous pathogenetic mechanisms.

Chemokines and leukocyte traffic
TL;DR: Over the past ten years, numerous chemokines have been identified as attractants of different types of blood leukocytes to sites of infection and inflammation and are now known to also function as regulatory molecules in leukocyte maturation, traffic and homing of lymphocytes, and the development of lymphoid tissues.

TL;DR: This is the first study providing evidence for Zika virus infection causing Guillain-Barré syndrome, and because Zika virus is spreading rapidly across the Americas, at risk countries need to prepare for adequate intensive care beds capacity to manage patients with Guillay-B Barré syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guillain-Barré syndrome
TL;DR: Investigators of large, worldwide, collaborative studies of the spectrum of Guillain-Barré syndrome are accruing data for clinical and biological databases to inform the development of outcome predictors and disease biomarkers, which is transforming the clinical and scientific landscape of acute autoimmune neuropathies.
