Background: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system, causing muscle weakness, paralysis, and sensory deficits. Its treatment mainly involves supportive care, immunomodulatory therapies such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) plasma exchange (PE), rehabilitation. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) meta-analyses have evaluated effic...

Acute and severe Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) cases reported following influenza vaccine to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database from 1991 through 1999 were examined. Endotoxin concentrations were measured using the Limulus amebocyte lysate assay in influenza vaccines. There were a total of 382 cases of GBS reported to the VAERS database following influenza vaccination ...

Campylobacter infection of the gastrointestinal tract has been observed as an antecedent illness in some patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS); these patients have been reported to have poor prognosis. We investigated 29 patients with GBS, admitted to our hospital from January 1996 to December 1999 for recent Campylobacter enteritis by culture of their stool specimens. Campylobacter upsal...

OBJECTIVE To find an association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, and DRB5 alleles frequencies in a sample of Iraqi patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and compare with a healthy control group. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study consisting of 30 Iraqi Arab patients with GBS attending the Neurological Department in the Neuroscience Hospital, Ba...

BACKGROUND Incidence and predominant subtype of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) differs geographically. Electrophysiology has an important role in early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. This study is conducted to determine the frequent subtype of GBS in a large group of patients in Iran and compare nerve conduction studies in axonal and demyelinating forms of GBS. METHODS We retrospective...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare immune mediated clinical disorder of the peripheral nerves. A number vaccines including COVID-19 vaccine have been shown to be associated with an increased risk GBS. We reported case Corbevax® (COVID-19 vaccine) induced 12 years old girl presented paediatric emergency 2 days history progressive weakness all four limbs. The started after one day patient re...

During acute-phase illness, serum of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) contain complement-fixing antibodies (Ab) to peripheral nerve myelin (PNM). We investigated PNM lipids as putative antigens for these Ab since GBS serum retained significant reactivity to PNM treated with protease. Ab binding to specific lipids was studied with a C1 fixation and transfer (C1FT) assay using fraction...

Introduction: Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute-onset autoimmune-mediated neuropathy. can be divided into three subtypes: acute inflammatory demyelinating poly-radiculo-neuropathy (AIDP), motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), and sensory (AMSAN). About 20% of patients with GBS develop respiratory failure require mechanical ventilation. We are presenting a variant (Miller Fisher Syndrome, or M...
