  • Although some evidence suggests an association between influenza vaccination and GBS incidence, most research indicates that active influenza infection poses a higher risk for GBS, and vaccination may provide protection against it. (neurologyadvisor.com)
  • Of the 2,831 incidence admissions for GBS, the researchers found that 330 individuals received an influenza vaccine and 109 cases were preceded by influenza infection. (neurologyadvisor.com)

  • In most cases, the infection will go away on its own within a week without any lingering side effects, thanks to the good ol' immune system. (columbia.edu)
  • There have been cases reported following infection with the Zika virus. (middlesexhealth.org)
  • Recurrent infections in young individuals with a permissive genetic background could interfere with the maturation of the mucosal immune system and the composition of the microbiome ( 17 ), and thus favor the subsequent induction of an inflammatory T cell responses and the loss of oral tolerance to dietary gluten ( 18 , 19 ).
