Guillain-Barre syndrome, also known as acute polyneuritis, is an acute peripheral neuropathy that may worsen very quickly. Most cases become most serious within 2 weeks of onset, and about 20% of cases may even suffer from respiratory failure. Family members are reminded that if their child develops weakness or paralysis after infection or vaccination, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible and be evaluated by a physician to avoid missing the golden treatment period.

Rare acute inflammatory peripheral neuropathy may lead to severe paralysis or sudden death
Make good use of “gold therapy” to shorten the course of the disease. The earlier you start treatment, the better the effect.
A 2-year-old girl was sent to the emergency room by her family because of abdominal pain, inability to urinate, and general weakness. The family said that the sick child had been unable to walk on her own for many days. They originally thought it was due to abdominal pain. After hospitalization, she continued to have urinary retention and defecation. Incontinence and general paralysis were diagnosed as “Guillain-Barre syndrome” after examination.
Rare acute inflammatory peripheral neuropathy may lead to severe paralysis or sudden death
Huang 伃㚬, an attending physician in pediatrics at Fengyuan Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said,Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare, acute inflammatory peripheral neuropathy that may affect the body’s movement, sensation, and nervous system. Most of its occurrences are caused by an immune system reaction triggered by infection or vaccination, resulting in peripheral nerves being attacked by antibodies.
Patients may experience acute limb weakness, difficulty swallowing, or further lead to respiratory failure, general paralysis, or even sudden death.
(Symptoms such as limb weakness and difficulty swallowing in children after vaccination or infection may be related to the immune system reaction triggered by vaccination. Parents need to pay more attention.)
Because Guillain-Barre syndrome may worsen very quickly, most cases will reach the most critical stage within about 2 weeks after the onset of the disease. About 20% of cases will have respiratory failure and require respiratory assistance devices. If affected If the autonomic nervous system is affected, it will lead to irregular heart rhythm and unstable blood pressure. Therefore, in the face of GBS, early detection and early treatment are needed.
Huang Tanko pointed out that the exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is still unknown, and called on family members toIf a child is found to have weakness or paralysis in his limbs after being infected or vaccinated, he should seek medical attention as soon as possible and be evaluated by a physician to avoid missing the golden treatment period and affecting the prognosis of neurological function.
Make good use of “gold therapy” to shorten the course of the disease. The earlier you start treatment, the better the effect.
In treatment, as long as the diagnosis is confirmed, in addition to the use of general supportive measures, the currently recognized gold therapies, plasma exchange (a blood “cleaning” process) and intravenous high-dose immune globulin (IVIG) often help shorten the course of GBS. Treatment with plasma exchange or intravenous immunoglobulin.
Plasma exchange treatment gives patients a higher chance of regaining mobility 12 months after the onset of disease. It is currently believed that plasmapheresis is most effective within 7 days of symptom onset, but it is still helpful for the overall prognosis within 30 days of the onset of the disease.
Once diagnosed, the sooner treatment is started, the better the effect will be. It can shorten the course of the disease and improve overall functional recovery. It also has a positive effect on alleviating sequelae.
After early hospitalization and stabilization, most patients can participate in rehabilitation exercises to help them regain muscle strength while recovering neurological function.
