just in case anyone cares....
page 592 states that Guillain-Barre has both increased CSF protein and lymphocytes.
The protein should definitely be increased, but a somewhat important part of the diagnosis lies w/ there being a NORMAL wbc count, aka the "albuminocytologic dissociation"
It also left out that it is commonly preceeded by a viral infection, not just bacterial (myco. pneumo and campylobacter)
