Abstract
Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute fulminant, inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. We studied clinical features, antecedent events, diagnostic features , incidence of respiratory paralysis and corelation of treatment modality and outcome in 30 patients of GBS admitted in a tertiary hospital. We found tht 50% of patients had evidence of preceedings illness. The common clinical features observed where paraparesis (63.33%) and quadriparesis (36.67%) of patients. Incidence of respiratory paralysis was observed to be 13.33%. There was a direct corelation between presence of bulbar palsy and respiratory failure in our study. We also found no difference in treatment modality and outcome of patient disease between plasmapharesis and intravenous immunoglobulin.
Keywords: Guillain Barre Syndrome, Polyradiculoneuropathy, Respiratory Paralysis.
