Several distinct autoimmune neuropathies can be referred to collectively as Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). Wakerley and colleagues argue that confusing terminology hinders diagnosis, and they present a revised classification of 'classic' GBS, Miller Fisher syndrome and related conditions. This new approach to diagnosis might facilitate work-up, thereby helping to identify the correct treatment as quickly as possible.
