Abstract
Abstract Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute single-phase causal disease that occurs after an infection. An analysis ranges from 0.5-1.5/100,000 children, predominates in males. Initiatives with the limbs followed by progressive, symmetrical muscle weakness, with the principle of lower nodes (lower limbs). In children, the predominance is the difficulty of gait and greater involvement of the cranial pairs. Young children are difficult to diagnose because they have atypical complaints and a more challenging neurological examination. In case of suspicion, the patient should be hospitalized in a pediatric ICU, where he/she should remain monitored, with frequent surveillance and treatment should not be delayed, reducing the frequency and severity of complications.
Highlights
Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is classified as an eponym that encompasses acute immune-mediated polyneuropathies. It is considered an acute monophasic paralyzing disease that usually occurs after an infection, being the most common cause of flaccid paralysis in the world [1,2,3]
GBS was described in 1916 by Guillain, Barré and Strohl, who reported a case of two French soldiers who developed acute paralysis with muscle weakness, CLE and albuminocytological dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Campylobacter jejuni is the most widely reported agent, other infections associated with this condition are those due to cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, measles, influenza virus, Mycoplasma pneumonie, as well as enterovirus D68 and Zika virus [21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29]
Summary
Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is classified as an eponym that encompasses acute immune-mediated polyneuropathies It is considered an acute monophasic paralyzing disease that usually occurs after an infection, being the most common cause of flaccid paralysis in the world [1,2,3]. We chose to report a case of a female patient of one year and one month of age, with a history of fever for 5 days, with progressive loss of strength, asymmetrical in the lower limbs. She was diagnosed with GBS, but with clinical presentation and atypical exams
