Abstract
⺠We assess the sensitivity of case definitions for GBS in children in India. ⺠All cases had cerebrospinal fluid and nerve conduction studies. ⺠Diagnostic sensitivity was high: Brighton criteria levels 3 (86%), 2 (82%), and 1 (62%). ⺠Brighton Working Group case definitions are a plausible standard for capturing GBS. ⺠These case definitions may be valuable for diagnosis in other low income settings.
