Infectious mononucleosis is a clinical syndrome characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy and pharyngitis. Neurologic complications of infectious mononucleosis, such as the development of Guillain-Barre syndrome, have been rarely reported and usually present late in the course of the disease. We describe a case of a 29 year old male with no significant past medical history who was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome following an infection with Epstein-Barr virus associated infectious mononucleosis. Supportive treatment resulted in full recovery.

COVID-19 from Wuhan, China has spread easily all over the world. Most of the COVID-19 infected patients have fever and breathing disorders. Here, we report a case of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) with a COVID-19 infection. GBS is a very rare disease with corona virus infection. It is really hard to diagnose. In this state the limbs of the patient are slowly weakened. The condition worsens daily with weakness of the limbs. The Guillain-Barre syndrome is a complex and acute or chronic neurological condition. Campylobacter jejuni and other viruses, including cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr Virus, are causing this condition.1 It is a disorder that is progressive, symmetric, proximate, distal, and characterised by weakness. Muscle reflexes are reduced to absent. Aetiology is unclear, Death is uncommon. The diagnosis of GBS can be made by cerebrospinal fluid analysis and nerve conduction studies.2 We present a case of Guillain-Barre syndrome with COVID-19 infection, who presented to the emergency Outpatient department with complaints of weakness against his bilateral upper and lower limb.
