Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder characterised by sudden numbness, breathing and swallowing problems, pain, muscle weakness, etc. While GBS can affect both children and young adults, it is not expected to lead to an epidemic or pandemic. Doctors note that most patients recover fully with appropriate treatment.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), GBS occurs when โa personโs immune system mistakenly attacks part of their peripheral nervous systemโthe network of nerves that carries signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.โ
As per reports, there is no cure for Guillain-Barre Syndrome, however, one can approach Plasma exchange, also known as plasmapheresis or Immunoglobulin therapy to reduce symptoms and also for speedy recovery. Mayo Clinic confirms, โThese treatments are equally effective. Mixing them or using one after the other is no more effective than using either method alone.โ
