Abstract
We studied 29 children admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital (BCH) w ith acute flaccid paralysis between June 1991 and June 1993. Twenty-se ven patients had Guillain-Barre syndrome-7 with acute inflammatory dem yelinating polyneuropathy and 20 with acute motor axonal neuropathy (A MAN). Two had poliomyelitis. The most common cause of acute flaccid pa ralysis at BCH is the AMAN pattern of GBS.
