Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS), was originally described by Guillain et. al in 1916 following two case reports. In 1936 Guillain himself described more cases in a further report} and since then this condition has been widely published. Several different terms have been used to describe this illness and these includes acute infective polyneuritis, acute febrile polyneuritis of OsIer and acute idi...

This case report describes transfusion related acute lung injury with the use of intravenous immunoglobulin in a child with Guillain barre syndrome.

neurological signs and symptoms are commonly associated with both hodgkin’s and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma and are mostly attributed to either direct lymphomatous involvement of the nervous system, either as a result of extension to the spinal cord or nerves, or due to infiltration by lymphoma cells and drug toxicity. guillain-barre syndrome and its variants have been reported very infrequently in ...

A case report is presented of a 33-year-old woman who awoke with distal paresthesias, mild incoordination, and progressive weakness. Examination 3 days later demonstrated weakness of the extremities, which was greater in distal muscles than in proximal ones! mild facial weakness, distal vibratory loss, and areflexia. Electrodiagnostic studies provided evidence of an acquired demyelinating polyr...

objective the guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is characterized by the acute onset of rapidlyprogressive, symmetric muscle  weakness with absent or decreased deep tendon reflexes. gbs is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in childhood, with an incidence of 0.6-4 per 100 000 population per year. the clinical features are distinct and obtaining patient's history and conducting an exami...

background: anti-ganglioside antibody assays are widely used for diagnosis of autoimmune peripheral neuropathies. objective: this study aimed to determine serum levels of anti-ganglioside antibodies in children with guillain-barre syndrome by immunoblotting technique and compare the results with those obtained by elisa method. method: in this investigation, 50 children with guillain-barre syndr...

guillain barre syndrome (gbs) is an inflammatory, usually demyelinating, polyneuropathy; clinically characterized by acute onset of symmetric progressive muscle weakness with loss of myotatic reflexes. thirty five patients with gbs, defined clinically according to the criteria of asbury and cornblath, were recruited from three hospital affiliated to tehran university of medical sciences.as a co...

1. SUMMARY Guillain±Barre  syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis, usually due to acute in¯ammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. The presence of activated T lymphocytes and antibodies against peripheral nerve myelin suggests an autoimmune patho-genesis, although there is wide heterogeneity. Gangliosides are sialylated glycolipids widely distributed in...
