Abstract In many instances, the differential diagnosis between Guillain–Barre syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) may be challenging. The aim of this letter to the editor is to elucidate comments and concerns raised, regarding our latest published article dealing with two patients that developed acute-onset CIDP after SARS-CoV-2 infection and Ad26.COV2.S vaccination, respectively.
