HGBS is occasionally described in severely immunocompromised subjects in the context of the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. The case described occurred soon after the start of a ...

: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) characterizes a monophasic ascending, symmetrical paralysis, with areflexia, progressing over days to weeks. Normally, as post-infectious autoimmune procedure, it leads destroying myelin. Scattered reports exist regarding the concurrent evidence of COVID-19 infection and adults possible GBS. However, few former cases were reported in children. Here in, we report ...

Leptospirosis is a disease with protean manifestations. We report a case of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) in a pediatric patient following infection with Leptospira. Infecting Leptospira presumably belonged to serovar Copenhageni. The patient recovered completely. The possibility of GBS developing as a result of antecedent leptospiral infection should be kept in mind.

Plasmapheresis means elimination of plasma and replacement of it with other liquids. Effect of this treatment is confirmed in more than 50 diseases like myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and TTP. This cross sectional study was done on 25 myasthenia gravis patients referred to Shahid Sadoughi hospital, Yazd, Iran 2004-2007. We report 22 myasthenia gravis patients' response to plasmapher...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is rarely reported in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and may be difficult to differentiate from vincristine induced neuropathy. We report two children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on induction chemotherapy who developed GBS. The diagnostic issues and potential pathogenic mechanisms underlying GBS in pediatric patients with ALL are discussed.
