Association Between Thyroid Hormone Levels and Disease Prognosis in Guillain–Barré Syndrome: A Retrospective Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune‐mediated neuropathy characterized by progressive sensory and motor dysfunction, often accompanied by abnormal inflammatory markers and thyroid hormone levels. However, the underlying mechanisms and their impact on prognosis remain incompletely understood.

Corynebacterium ulceransDiphtheria in Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
To the Editor: Corynebacterium ulcerans causes a zoonotic infection similar to diphtheria, which is caused by C. diphtheriae. Studies indicate that signs and symptoms of a diphtheria-like illness caused by C. ulcerans are milder than those caused by C. diphtheriae. However, some strains of C.
