Summary

The authors describe a case of Guillain–Barre syndrome after the diarrhoeal infection due to Norovirus. Many infections have been described most notably Campylobacter jejuni. To our knowledge a connection to Norovirus has not been described in the world literature. The authors speculate on why this may be so.
