Abstract
We present a patient who developed Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) after a Cyclospora-induced diarrheal illness. We raise the possibility hat Cyclospora is an infectious trigger for GBS in this patient. An active search for this agent in patients with GBS preceded by diarrheal illn ess is recommended.
