N. Yuki et al., FISHER SYNDROME AFTER CAMPYLOBACTER-JEJUNI ENTERITIS - HUMAN-LEUKOCYTE ANTIGEN AND THE BACTERIAL SEROTYPE, The Journal of pediatrics, 126(1), 1995, pp. 55-57
We describe two children who had Fisher syndrome subsequent to Campylo
bacter jejuni enteritis, The C. jejuni isolates from both patients, wh
o lived in different areas, belonged to PEN 2: LIO 4. One patient had
the following human leukocyte antigens (HLAs): HLA-A24, 33; B44, 52; D
Q1; and DR2, 6 antigens, Another had the HLA-A24, 33; B44, 54; Cw1; DQ
1, 4; and DR4, 6, An effort should be made to isolate C. jejuni from p
atients with Fisher syndrome and to perform HLA typing so that the pat
hogenesis of this syndrome can be clarified.
