A 2-Year-Old Boy With Difficulty Waking After Bone Marrow Transplantation
We report a 2-year-old boy who was evaluated for difficult waking during prolonged intensive care unit admission associated with bone marrow transplant for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Neurologic examination was found to be abnormal, with nuchal rigidity initially, then decreased extremity movement and areflexia developing over several days. Electromyogram showed length-dependent, axonal, sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Cerebrospinal fluid showed albuminocytologic dissociation suggestive of Guillain-Barre syndrome or acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy variant.
