Yes. We have seen many people develop PN following an infectious illness.
In fact, infection with Campylobacter from uncooked chicken is KNOWN to cause PN (GBS). There is also a fish infection.
This may be due to the infectious agent itself. Or that the body makes antibodies to the organism which mimic (are similar to) nerve tissue, and hence after the infection, these antibodies then attack the self, instead.
There are also cytokines released in response to infection, and these are inflammatory and may attack nerve endings as well.
There are some seafood toxins/bacterial poisoning that can involve nerves:
