Description:

GBS is an autoimmune disease that causes neurological disorder. It can result from a viral infection surgery trauma or an adverse reaction to an immunisation. It is characterised by the body's immune system attacking or fighting the peripheral nervous system.Peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are affected by the inflammatory Guillain-Barré Syndrome . It can cause muscle weakness, reflex loss, and numbness or tingling in certain areas of your body. It can result in paralysis though this is usually only momentary. Even those with severe cases typically make a full recovery. As a matter of fact, within 6 to 12 months, 85% of individuals with GBS recover completely. It's highly unlikely to come back once you recover.

Cause:

GBS typically develops after a few days or weeks of • Viral or bacterial infections - Influenza, Cytomegalovirus • Some intestinal conditions • Pneumonia • Herpes simplex virus • Infectious Mononucleosis • Dengue GBS may also be associated with the following medical conditions: • Hodgkin's disease  • Systemic lupus erythematosus. • Post surgery It can be caused at any age with more prevalence in the elderly aged above 50.

Symptom:

GBS symptoms can worsen quickly. It could only take a few hours for the worst symptoms to manifest. However weakness that worsens over a few days is also typical. Both sides of the body are impacted by muscular weakness or loss of function (paralysis). The majority of the time arm weakness develops from a weakness in the legs. We refer to this condition as ascending paralysis. You might require breathing assistance if the inflammation weakens the diaphragm the big muscle that helps you breathe and the nerves supplying those muscles. Other typical GBS signs and symptoms include: Absence of tendon reflexes in the limbs Numbness or tingling (a slight loss of sensation) Loss of bladder control Pain or tenderness in the muscles Diffulty in moving the limbs Incoherent gait (unable to walk without assistance) Low or inadequate blood pressure Other signs and symptoms may include: Blurred and double vision clumsiness and trip hazards Having trouble using the face muscles Feeling the palpitations in your heartbeat
