Estimated Annual Costs of CampylobacterAssociated guillain-barre syndrome Jean C.Buzby, Tanya Roberts, and Ban Mishu Allos. Agricultural Economics Report No.
http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/Aer756/

Extractions: Agricultural Economics Report No. (AER756) 40 pp, July 1997 Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune reaction that can cause acute neuro-muscular paralysis. Of an estimated 2,628 to 9,575 new U.S. cases with GBS annually, 526 to 3,830 are triggered by infection with Campylobacter, the most frequently isolated cause of foodborne diarrhea. Estimated total annual costs of Campylobacter-associated GBS of $0.2 to $1.8 billion plus previously estimated costs of campylobacteriosis ($1.3 to $6.2 billion) add to total annual costs from Campylobacter of $1.5 to $8.0 billion (1995 dollars). Assuming 55-70 percent of costs are attributable to foodborne sources, costs of campylobacteriosis from food sources ($0.7 to $4.3 billion) and costs of associated GBS ($0.1 to $1.3 billion) combined equal total annual costs of $0.8 to $5.6 billion from foodborne Campylobacter. Reducing Campylobacter in food could prevent up to $5.6 billion in costs annually. Keywords: Campylobacter, cost-of-illness, foodborne pathogens, Guillain-Barré syndrome, lost productivity, medical costs

Extractions: We never knew about Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Denise always wanted to understand everything about her health conditions. Complications from diabetes had caused her to have severe heart problems and she was a candidate for a heart transplant before she died. She had an excellent understanding of diabetes and heart disease. But Guillain-Barre Syndrome was something she was not familiar with.

Extractions: Guillain-Barre syndrome is a neurological disorder in which the bodys immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. The onset can be quite sudden and unexpected. The disorder can develop over a few days, or it may take up to several weeks. A person experiences the greatest weakness within the first two weeks after symptoms appear.

http://www.uihealthcare.com/topics/neurologicalhealth/neur3529.html

Extractions: University of Iowa Guillain-Barre syndrome is a temporary inflammation of the nerves and spinal cord. It causes weakness and paralysis in the extremities that can progress to the chest and face. The syndrome typically occurs after recovery from a viral infection or, in rare cases, following an immunization. It can occur at any age, but is most common between 30 and 50. It goes away completely in more than 9 out of 10 cases. Some people may have mild long-term loss of reflexes in the feet and legs. The outlook is best if symptoms clear within 15 to 20 days of onset. The causes are not well understood. It may be due to the body's immune system attacking the nerves. The outlying nerves become inflamed and begin to lose their outer layers. About 80 percent of the people who get it have a history of a recent minor illness with fever. This could be a cold, flu, or sometimes a stomach flu. Guillain-Barre syndrome has also occurred after surgery or receiving a rabies or swine flu vaccine, and with certain cancers and lupus. Muscle weakness usually appears in the legs first. It can extend to the arms and face in 1 to 3 days. There is often loss of the sense of touch at the same time. There may also be numbness or tingling. Stiffness and cramping pain, like a "charley horse," often occur. Deep, aching muscle pain is also common.

Extractions: Evidence-Based Pediatrics Web Site Intravenous Immunoglobulin is Preferred Therapy for Guillain-Barre Syndrome Intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg daily for 5 days) is equivalent to plasma exchange (five 50 ml/kg exchanges over 8-13 days) for treatment of Guillain-Barre syndrome in adults. Therapy with both plasma exchange and immunoglobulin conferred no additional benefit. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy is less expensive and is easier to administer. 379 adults were randomized to receive either plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin, or both. Inclusion criteria were severe disease (aid needed for walking), age over 16 years, and onset of disease within the past 14 days. Patients were followed up for 48 weeks.
