Case reports and Correspondence

Abstract: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is rarely reported in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and may be difficult to differentiate from vincristine induced neuropathy. We report two children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on induction chemotherapy who developed GBS. The diagnostic issues and potential pathogenic mechanisms underlying GBS in pediatric patients with ALL are discussed.

“…To the Editor: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy seen in children. Paraneoplastic neuropathies are rarely encountered in children with ALL, 1 but have been described more frequently in adults with other hematologic malignancies. [2][3][4] Here, we describe a patient with B-cell ALL and t(8;22) who developed Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) as a paraneoplastic phenomenon.…”
