1939W. Haymaker tr. Bing's Text-bk. Nervous Dis. i. 52 There is considerable confusion in terminology of what Guillain and Barré called ‘polyradiculoneuritis’. Thus, in England the condition has been called ‘acute infective polyneuritis’ and in the United States, ‘neuronitis’... In addition to the symptoms of the Guillain–Barré syndrome, partial spinal block, choked discs and a high incidence of facial diplegia have been noted. 1961R. D. Baker Essent. Path. xxii. 626 It is probable that infectious polyneuritis (Guillain–Barré syndrome) is an immune reaction. 1976National Observer (U.S.) 25 Dec. 2/6 Guillain–Barre syndrome was first described in 1916 by three French physicians.
