Guillian Barre syndrome linked to swine flu vaccine.

 

Anyone can develop GBS, but people older than 50 are at greatest risk. About two-thirds of people with GBS were sick with diarrhea or respiratory illness days or weeks before developing symptoms. Infection with the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni, which causes gastroenteritis (including symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), is one of the most common risk factors for GBS. People also can develop GBS after having the flu or other infections such as cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus. On very rare occasions, people develop GBS in the days or weeks after getting a vaccination.

 

GBS and the link to flu vaccine

 

In response to a potential pandemic strain of a flu virus in 1976, there was a national campaign for people to get the swine flu vaccination. Over 45 million people were vaccinated and there were increased reports of GBS following vaccination. Those who received the 1976 swine flu vaccine had a slight increased risk for developing GBS of approximately one additional case of GBS for every 100,000 people who got the swine flu vaccine. Scientists have several theories about the cause, but the exact reason for this link remains unknown.
