Key result
Hepatitis E virus infection was associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome, suggesting HEV should be considered in patients with neurological manifestations and high liver enzymes.
Case Report (n=1)
Healthcare providers should consider hepatitis E virus in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with neurological disorders like Guillain-Barré syndrome, particularly when accompanied by elevated liver enzymes.
Key Clinical Message: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can be manifested with several neurological syndromes including GBS. Therefore, healthcare providers should consider HEV in their differential diagnosis for patients with neurological disorders. Abstract: We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with hepatitis E virus infection. The current case-report demonstrates diagnostic challenge to identify GBS case in a limited-resources country like Sudan. However, HEV infection should be highly suspected in patients with neurological manifestation with high liver enzymes.

Ahmed et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with hepatitis E virus infection (n=1). Hepatitis E virus infection was evaluated on Guillain-Barré syndrome. Hepatitis E virus infection was associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome, suggesting HEV should be considered in patients with neurological manifestations and high liver enzymes.
