Alamos et al. (2019) discuss Hungarian author Sándor Márai's description of pain in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in his novel "The Sister" (1946) and claim that it significantly predates published medical descriptions of the painful component in some cases of GBS. I would like to add to the picture by referring to Márai's personal experience with polyneuritis that he suffered in early 1943 and described in the first volume of his diary, begun that year.
