Comprehensive Approach to Guillain-Barre Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Aim: Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nervous system that often presents with progressive limb weakness and sensory disturbances. Globally, the incidence rate of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is approximately 0.001% to 0.002% of the population annually, or 1-2 cases per 100,000 people. Presentation of Case: A 61-year-old male presented with severe lower back pain, progressing to limb weakness and tingling. Diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) with motor axonal neuropathy and albumin-cytological dissociation via nerve conduction studies, CSF analysis, and imaging, he was treated with plasmapheresis, IVIG, antibiotics for a suspected UTI, neuroprotective medications, and physiotherapy. The patient showed significant motor improvement and stable vitals post-treatment. Discussion and Conclusion: We discuss the treatment included plasmapheresis, IVIG, antibiotics, physiotherapy, and neuroprotective medications. The patient showed significant improvement, with enhanced limb strength and stable vitals, and is now focusing on rehabilitation and long-term care.
