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.
