Post-COVID-19 guillain-barre syndrome: A distinct neurological entity
Sud R, Verma J, Goswami S, Aggarwal N, Gurtoo A. Post-COVID-19 guillain-barre syndrome: A distinct neurological entity. Indian J Med Spec 2021;12:31-3
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent for COVID-19, originated in China in the fall of 2019 and soon became a pandemic engulfing the entire world, presenting with a myriad of presentations from asymptomatic to severe disease with acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction and severe inflammatory response. Little is understood about the new virus and its pathogenesis, and it is too early to ascertain its long-term sequelae at this point in time. New associations and clinical problems keep appearing with the new virus and thus we also got to encounter three cases of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) in patients following COVID-19 infection. This case series aims to convey clinicians that AIDP can be seen in patients with COVID-19, particularly during the recovery phase, and thus not to miss it as postviral fatigue and malaise.
Keywords: Acute flaccid quadreparesis, COVID-19, Guillain–Barre syndrome, intravenous immunoglobulin G
