Description

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute, immune-mediated polyneuropathy characterized by rapidly progressing weakness, sensory disturbances, and potential respiratory involvement. This book provides a comprehensive guide covering clinical features, diagnosis, medical and physiotherapy management, and rehabilitation strategies. Key Highlights: Etiology & Pathophysiology: GBS is often triggered by infections (like Campylobacter jejuni, CMV) and involves immune-mediated demyelination or axonal damage to peripheral nerves. Clinical Presentation: Progressive symmetrical weakness (starting from lower limbs), areflexia, sensory loss, cranial nerve involvement, and autonomic dysfunction.Types of GBS: AIDP: Most common; demyelinating type. AMAN & AMSAN: Axonal variants, more severe, with slower recovery.Diagnosis: Based on clinical signs, CSF analysis (albuminocytologic dissociation), and nerve conduction studies (NCV/EMG).Medical Management: Includes IVIG, plasmapheresis, respiratory care, and prevention of complications (DVT, infections, cardiac issues).
