: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) characterizes a monophasic ascending, symmetrical paralysis, with areflexia, progressing over days to weeks. Normally, as a post-infectious autoimmune procedure, it leads to destroying myelin. Scattered reports exist regarding the concurrent evidence of COVID-19 infection and adults with possible GBS. However, few former cases were reported in children. Here in, we report an 11 years-old boy with GBS concurrent with COVID-19 infection.

Although the Guillain-Barré syndrome is relatively rare, it is a disease entity that doctors of different specialties and physiotherapists should know as much as possible. This is a post-infectious autoimmune polyneuropathy. This condition falls on the patient unexpectedly and in a short time can lead to damage to many organs and even life-threatening. Due to the multitude and variety of symptoms, treatment of the Guillain-Barré syndrome, more than other diseases, requires close cooperation of the entire therapeutic team. A physiotherapist plays a special role in working with a patient with the Guillain-Barré syndrome. Restoration of lost or limited functions requires time, patience, knowledge and experience to select the methods of working with the patient in the most effective way.

A 57-year-old man presented with a progressive flaccid symmetrical motor and sensory neuropathy following a 1-week history of cough and malaise. He was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome secondary to COVID-19 and started on intravenous immunoglobulin. He proceeded to have worsening respiratory function and needed intubation and mechanical ventilation. This is the first reported case of this rare neurological complication of COVID-19 in the UK, but it adds to a small but growing body of international evidence to suggest a significant association between these two conditions. Increasing appreciation of this by clinicians will ensure earlier diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients presenting with this.

Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is usually a post-infectious autoimmune disease that manifests as acute ascending flaccid paralysis. The disease is usually uncommon. However, recently it was reported in a few COVID-19 cases before complete resolution of COVID symptoms. An association between olfactory-gustatory disturbances and sensory abnormalities is frequently observed in GBS with COVID-19. The electrophysiological studies usually reveal a demyelinating pattern. Respiratory involvement, as part of respiratory muscle paralysis or COVID-19 pneumonia, is associated with poor recovery in affected patients. Here, we present a case of a young man, pre-morbid healthy, who presented with GBS with mild COVID-19 infection. He successfully recovered after treatment with Intravenous immunoglobulin IVIg.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a post-infectious neuropathy typically described as a bilateral ascending paralysis of the lower extremities. There are, however, multiple lesser known subtypes of the syndrome that can affect both adult and pediatric populations. The Pharyngeal- Brachial-Cervical (PCB) variant is one of the rarer forms, which presents with weakness of the neck, oropharynx, and upper extremities. This atypical presentation can be confused with other diagnoses, and early detection is important for preventing potentially life-threatening complications. To date, only ten cases of this entity have been reported in children. Below we report on a 15-year-old female who presented with left arm weakness who subsequently progressed to classic GBS and review the literature on this GBS variant in children.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) otherwise known as Acute Inflammatory Polyneuritis, characterized by acute progressive limb weakness and aretlexia, is the prototype of a post infectious autoimmune disease. Two-thirds of the cases of GBS emerge from viral or bacterial infection. In August 2006, a 20 year old man presented at ICU, BIRDEM Hospital with a history of brief icteric illness followed by progressive bilateral symmetrical hypotonic aretlexic muscular weakness, bilateral infra-nuclear facial palsy and bulbar weakness. Later on, he was diagnosed as a case of GBS and acute hepatitis E. Up till now, only three cases of GBS associated with hepatitis E have been reported in the medical literature world wide. This is probably the 4th case to be reported. Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2008; 2(1): 32-34 Key words: Guillain-Barré Syndrome, acute hepatitis E doi: 10.3329/imcj.v2i1.2930
