What is the Guillain Barré?
It is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. The illness, which is relatively rare, can last for weeks or several years, and can be serious.
These are your Guillain Barré symptoms
This syndrome includes demyelinating polyradiculopathy (the most common form), motor axonal neuropathy, sensory-motor axonal neuropathy, Miller Fisher syndrome, cranial polyneuritis, acute pandysautonomia, and pure sensory compromise.
Nerves cannot send signals effectively; muscles lose their ability to respond to commands from the brain, and the brain receives fewer sensory signals from the rest of the body. The result is the inability to feel heat, pain, and other sensations, as well as progressively paralyzing various muscles in the body.
Which is the treatment?
There is no specific cure, and management consists of treatments that reduce the severity of symptoms and speed recovery in most patients.
Plasmapheresis and high-dose immunoglobulin treatment are generally the therapy of choice. Both are equally effective, but immune globulin is easier to administer.
