"Pneumonia complicates their health," he said Yamila, the wife of Raul Benavidez.

Raul Benavides has 55 years fighting for his life in the Central Hospital of San Isidro Dr. Melchor Angel Posse. On February 5, numbness in his right foot would be the first indication that things were not going well. Then followed the leg and arms up to the total paralysis of his limbs. More than 10 days inpatient, pharmacological coma, diagnosed with the rare Guillain-Barre syndrome. In the last hours, the scenario worse for him by a pneumonia.

The syndrome is poorly understood autoimmune disease that manifests itself in one to three cases per hundred thousand. This is a serious neurological disorder where the immune system attacks the nerves.

"His case was rapid and progressive. The new pathology complicates the state but is a circumstance which often happens with patients who are ventilator-assisted," he told sanisidro.clarin.com Yamila, Benavides' wife, adding that his husband will practice a tracheotomy.

Despite the situation, the resident of San Isidro strives to respond: "It makes small movements with his eyebrows. Unlike other days, eat today is not as deep. Doctors want to assess if you have reactions."

His case adds to Romina Buchmann Vivian Baez (27), a young woman who is hospitalized entrerriana since 31 January in San Pablo, Brazil, after that in the midst of your vacation, was diagnosed with the disease.

"They contacted me Renzacci Martin. Your case is very similar to Raul," he said Yamila. Last year, Martin (31) was on honeymoon in Tasmania when he became ill. After spending 40 days confined in an Australian hospital, he returned to Argentina to continue treatment. "He was reported to give me peace of mind, to tell who was in the same way. He recommended that I talk to and gave me strength."
