Aim:

We reported a case of Miller Fisher syndrome following a breakthrough varicella zoster virus infection in an otherwise healthy 6-year-old male. The objective of this review was to summarize the infectious etiologic agents known to trigger Miller Fisher syndrome.

Methods:

Review of the literature on infections associated with Miller Fisher syndrome.

Results:

We identified 762 studies after duplicates were removed. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were screened. Finally, 37 studies were included in qualitative synthesis after citations and reference list were checked. The age range of cases reported was 0-78 years, and male sex was predominant in studies where these parameters were reported. The most common causative agent was Campylobacter jejuni followed by Haemophilus influenzae.

Conclusions:

Our review highlights the importance of recognizing the infections triggering Miller Fisher syndrome. We also present a unique case of Miller Fisher syndrome associated with breakthrough varicella zoster virus infection. Preventive policies may consider population immunization for certain causative agents.

感染引发的米勒·费希尔综合症：文献综述和病例报告

 目的：

我们报道了一名健康的 6 岁男性突破性水痘带状疱疹病毒感染后患上米勒·费希尔综合征的病例。本综述的目的是总结已知引发米勒·费希尔综合征的传染性病原体。

 方法：

米勒·费希尔综合征相关感染的文献综述。

 结果：

删除重复项后，我们确定了 762 项研究。标题、摘要和全文均经过筛选。最后，在检查引文和参考文献列表后，将 37 项研究纳入定性综合。报告病例的年龄范围为 0-78 岁，在报告这些参数的研究中男性占主导地位。最常见的病原体是空肠弯曲杆菌，其次是流感嗜血杆菌。

 结论：

我们的综述强调了识别引发米勒·费希尔综合症的感染的重要性。我们还提出了一个与突破性水痘带状疱疹病毒感染相关的米勒·费希尔综合征的独特病例。预防政策可以考虑针对某些病原体进行群体免疫。
