Anti-galactocerebroside (Gal-C) antibody is characteristic of encephalomyelitis and Guillain-Barre syndrome subsequent to mycoplasma infection. Here, we report a 75-year-old Japanese man who presented somnolence, signs of meningeal irritation, and parkinsonian features with positive serum inflammatory markers and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis. Although anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody was negative, anti-Gal-C antibody was later detected in his serum. The present case recovered spontaneously without any other specific therapies.
