The effect of temporal local ischemia at the forearm on ulnar motor nerve conduction velocity in the control (n = 26 children), group of patients with acute period viral meningitis (VM) (n = 16 children), 14 days after the clinical manifestation of VM (n = 11 children) and children with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) in catamnesis (n = 11 children) was evaluated. Less pronounced reactivity of ne...

This study was performed to determine whether increased ganglioside-specific T cell reactivity can be detected in the peripheral blood of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). T cell responsiveness to the gangliosides GM1, GM3, GD1a, GD1b, GD3, GT1b, GQ1b and sulphatide was assessed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells...

Abstract: Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated response that causes muscle and limb weakness. Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infectious disease caused by the attack of Severe Acute Respiratory 2 viruses (SARS-CoV-2) in which patients show symptoms such as fever, cough, headache. We had studied five different cases pediatric who came across GBS secondary to COVID-19. The analyzed rep...

We really appreciate Craig et al. (2016) for their commended to our contribution to the current knowledge about Zika Virus (ZIKV), and their comments to the possible relationship between Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and ZIKV infection (Saiz et al., 2016). Even more, we absolutely agree with their interpretations and recommendations pointing to the necessity of further research to accurately qu...

Acute Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is characterized by an acute onset of limb weakness and areflexia. There are a few rare variants that have been described and one of them is the pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant (oropharynx, neck, and proximal upper limb muscles). However, in this patient, the only presentation was bulbar involvement with fast recovery within days. This is likely to...

Background. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) are autoimmune demyelinating disorders of Central and Peripheral Nervous system, respectively. The coexistence of these two syndromes in an individual's life span is rare. Objectives. To inspect throughout Isfahan MS society (IMSS) records for MS cases who had history of documented GBS whether before the onset of MS or after ...

OBJECTIVE To identify the factors that could predict the functional outcome in patients with the axonal type of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). METHODS Two hundred and two GBS patients admitted to our university hospital between 2003 and 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. We defined a good outcome as being "able to walk independently at 1 month after onset" and a poor outcome as being "unable...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and syringomyelia are diseases of different entities. GBS is an acute post-infectious autoimmune disease which is mediated by autoantibodies against the myelin of peripheral nerves. Syringomyelia is a chronic disease characterized by a cavity extending longitudinally inside the spinal cord. A 67-year-old man is being hospitalized due to severe numbness and ascendin...
