EMG were performed in all cases, 32 (62.7%) were AIDP (Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy). Lumbar puncture was done only in 10 patient, in mean time 8.4 days (SD 2.1), all showed albuminocytological dissociation. Brighton criteria for level 1 was only fulfilled in 10 patient (19.6%), Level 2 in 41 patient (80.4%), Level 3 and 4 in none.
