Background: Guillian Barre Syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of minor flaccid paralysis in world and post-polio eradication on Indian subcontinent as well. It affects 0.6 4 people per 1 lakh year

Introduction: Guillain-Barre syndrome is an uncommon, yet potentially fatal, immune-mediated disease affecting peripheral nerves and nerve roots that commonly generated by infections. Recent studies have shown a strong relationship between SARS-CoV-2, making SARS-CoV-2 potential trigger for GBS. Objective: to detail the current information related syndrome, causes, epidemiology, immunopathogeni...

Landry paralysis and the Guillain-Barre syndrome are not distinct entities and the differentiation, between these two diseases, is artificial (Lewy, 1945). Haymaker and Kernohan (I949) in their review on these diseases, supporting Lewy's view, proposed a new terminology of Landy-Guillain-Barre syndrome. Landry in I859 made the earliest description of the Guillain-Barre syndrome. Osler in I892 d...

OBJECTIVES To find the incidence, clinical pattern and outcome of Guillain-Barre syndrome in the Sultanate of Oman in children less than 15 years of age. METHODS All children under fifteen years with acute flaccid paralysis were admitted to identify the underlying cause. The diagnosis of Gullain Barre syndrome was made by clinical criteria, cerebrospinal fluid findings and nerve conduction st...

The following report describes two patients with polyradiculoneuropathy of unknown aetiology and displaying degeneration of the spinal cord secondary to severe and long-standing damage to the spinal nerve roots. With the possible exception of the tabetic form of syphilis, where the relationship of spinal cord lesions to spinal root pathology is still open to question 1963), cord involvement is ...

The syndrome of acute inflammatory idiopathic polyneuropathy is well known, the predominently motor type of which is recognised by the name of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), in which the maximum neurological deficit develops rapidly in days, plateaus for weeks and then subsides with the recovery occurring in weeks to months. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) has e...

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...

This article reports the occurrence of Guillain-Barre syndrome in a critically ill patient manifesting as a "difficult-to-wean" patient. This uncommon but possible etiology is worth noting by physicians in the intensive care unit.
