We describe a patient with the clinical characteristics of Guillain‐Barré syndrome, including progressive ascending paresis; cerebrospinal fluid albumino‐cytological dissociation; polyphasic small evoked potential, with prolonged latency and slow motor nerve conduction velocity; and active denervation pattern on electromyography, in association with acute delta hepatitis virus superinfection.
