Postinfectious Guillain-Barre syndrome in a patient with methimazole-induced agranulocytosis

Both Graves disease and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) are autoimmune disorders caused by impaired self-tolerance mechanisms and triggered by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. GBS in patients who suffer from other autoimmune diseases is rarely reported, and the development of postinfectious GBS in a patient with Graves disease has not been previously reported in the literature. Herein, we report a patient with Graves disease who developed post-infectious GBS during a course of methimazole-induced agranulocytosis.
