Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or GBS, is an acute, rare condition in which the immune system attacks peripheral nerves that are large nerve bundles located outside of the brain and spinal cord. The cause of GBS has not yet been found but it is often associated with some form of infection which can be viral or bacterial infections such as influenza, stomach flu, or even post-vaccination. The primary symptoms of GBS include weakness, tingling sensations, or paralysis that are more frequently start in the lower limbs and can spread to the upper body and arms. In the worst case GBS can also cause shortness of breath when the muscles of the respiratory system are affected. Symptoms usually take days or weeks to appear. Treatment includes plasmapheresis, or intravenous immunoglobulin, while in some cases hospitalization is required for most GBS patients. Recovery may take several months, and some may even persist with weakness and other complications. Early diagnosis and a prompt treatment play a key role in treating the GB syndrome.
