A 35-year-old man with Guillain-Barre syndrome and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia associated with serologically-confirmed mumpsis presented.

This represents the first report of Guillain-Barre syndrome and EDTA-dependentpseudothrombocytopenia following mumps.Furthermore, our findings suggest activation of the humoral immune response as a potential pathogenesis.
