Guillain-Barré syndrome
From Wikipedia,
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) (in French pronounced [ɡilɛ̃ baˈʁe][1][2], in
English pronounced /ˈgiːlæn ˈbɑreɪ/[3], /ɡiːˈæn bəˈreɪ/,[4] etc.[5]) is an acute
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), an autoimmune disease
affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually triggered by an acute
infectious process. It is included in the wider group of peripheral neuropathies.
There are several types of GBS, but unless otherwise stated, GBS refers to the
most common form, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP).
It is frequently severe and usually exhibits as an ascending paralysis noted by
weakness in the legs that spreads to the upper limbs and the face along with
complete loss of deep tendon reflexes. With prompt treatment by
plasmapheresis or intravenous immunoglobulins and supportive care, the
majority of patients will regain full functional capacity. However, death may
occur if severe pulmonary complications and dysautonomia are present
