Abstract

A case report with progressive weakness, bilateral facial paralysis and acute motor axonal polyneuropathy demonstrating electrodiagnostic evaluation will be presented. The condition was preceded by diarrhea, flu-like infection, abdominal pain and gastric tenderness; eventually, autonomic manifestation with episodes of visual hallucinations and disordered speech was added. Relation with Campylobacter jejuni infection, Lyme disease and porphyria are debated in differential diagnosis. Western-blot tests confirmed Lyme disease, and porphyrin specific test results were found positive.
