In their well-controlled study of Campylobacter jejuni-induced Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), McCarthy and Giesecke (1) examined a Swedish cohort of 29,567 individuals with laboratory-confirmed C. jejuni infection. The authors noted that of 6,293 persons below age 20 years, no cases of GBS were found. Among 20,856 adults aged 20–59 years, the rate of GBS was 14 per 100,000, while in the set of 2,417 people over age 59 years, the rate was 248 per 100,000 (1).A host factor in addition to age that might contribute to the risk of developing GBS as a complication of C. jejuni infection is gender. In a British group of 27 persons with C. jejuni-induced GBS, the ratio of men to women was 3.5: l, whereas in 76 GBS patients with no evidence of C. jejuni infection, the ratio was 1.5: 1 (2).
