FISHER SYNDROME AFTER CAMPYLOBACTER-JEJUNI ENTERITIS - HUMAN-LEUKOCYTE ANTIGEN AND THE BACTERIAL SEROTYPE

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.
