Japanese encephalitis is one of the causes of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). It is not known
whether GBS after Japanese encephalitis is axonal or demyelinating type. We report a 68-year-old
man case with Japanese encephalitis who developed flaccid quadriplegia. Electrophysiologic study
revealed sensorimotor polyneuropathy. And two consecutive electrophysiologic studies had
confirmed the motor and sensory axonal neuropathy with improved state. This case suggests that
Guillain-Barré syndrome subtype after Japanese encephalitis may be axonal, and serial
electrodiagnostic study is needed to verify Guillain-Barré syndrome subtype.
