Unlike other autoimmune polyneuropathies, the linkage between chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and other immune mediated disorders is weak. We report a patient who developed monophasic and parallel courses of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy. Both resolved in tandem with corticosteroid therapy. Distinct from Guillain-Barre Syndr...

Objective: After the poliomyelitis eradicated, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in healthy child. It one neuromuscular disorders required treatment to pediatric intensive care unit. Aim this study present three-year’s experience caring for patients with GBS admitted PICU university hospital. Materials and Methods: Patients who were diagnosed between ...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a sudden and complicated degenerative neurological disorder which can be acute or chronic in nature. Etiology remains unclear, but pathophysiology shows demyelination of spinal nerve roots characterised by symmetrical limb weakness muscle stiffness. Death rare. Early diagnosis prompt treatment should occur severe cases. Here we discuss rare case GBS as paraesthe...

Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) is an acquired disease of nervous system which is considered as a rare variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Collier first described in 1932 as a variant of the Guillain-Barre syndrome with the triad of ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia. Charles Miller Fisher in 1956 described 3 patients with the symptoms of sluggish pupillary reflexes, acute external ophtha...

Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is considered as a variant of the Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and its characteristic clinical features are ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. Typically, it is associated with anti-GQ1b antibodies; however, a significant percentage (>10%) of these patients are seronegative. Here, we report a 67-year-old female patient who presented with the typical clinical fe...

OBJECTIVE To measure the frequency, persistence, isoform specificity, and clinical correlates of neurofascin antibodies in patients with peripheral neuropathies. METHODS We studied cohorts of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (n = 59), genetic neuropathy (n = 111), and idiopathic neuropathy (n = 43) for immunoglobulin (Ig) ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze how the patient himself perceives his physical and social situation 1 year after Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). MATERIAL AND METHOD The Dutch patients who participated in an international multicenter trial were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire containing questions on their physical status at homecoming and at 12 months, as well as questions dealing with...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a complex, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (cns) with variable phenotypic presentations, while guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is the prototypic acute inflammatory disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. myasthenia gravis (mg) is a t cell dependent and antibody mediated autoimmune disease. although it has been shown that complement plays...
