Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) - Presentation and Diagnosis

What is GBS?

GBS is a post infective demyelinating neuropathy of unknown cause. it usually occurs one to three weeks after an episode of respiratory tract infection, diarrhoea, surgery or vaccination.GBS is a immunologically mediated disease.In most of the cases GBS follow an infection with CMV (Cytomegalovirus), mycoplasma or campylobacter jejuni. 
GBS

Presentation

A patient of GBS usually presents with the complaints of weakness of Lower limbs for few days and difficulty in walking for same duration.Flaccid type of paraplegia is seen in a patient of GBS. 
Important clinical examination findings in GBS
The higher cerebral function of patient of GBS is usually normal. All the cranial nerves are intact. The muscle tone of the Lower limbs of the patient is diminished but the muscle bulk of the patient is normal. The sensory function of the nerves are usually intact.The striking abnormality is seen in a GBS patient when the jerks of the patient are tested. The knee and the ankle jerks are often seen absent but the biceps and triceps jerks are normal.The jerks in the upper limbs may be absent in a patient of GBS in very advanced stage.

Investigations to diagnose GBS

A CSF study may be sufficient to declare GBS. Albuminocytological dissociation is found in the CSF of a GBS patient.(Albumin maybe found very high in the CSF of a GBS patient) But if the lymphocytes count is more than 50/cmm then GBS is unlikely.
Investigations to identify CMV, mycoplasma and campylobacter jejuni can be done.
Nerve condition study can be done and may show slow condition, condition block or demyelinating neuropathy.

  3. I am deeply concerned about the still increase in population of people living with HSV, HIV, CANCERS, HEPATITIS, STROKES in our society today because of ignorance, to be Frank all this big names are grammars. I saw comments of people DR UTU helped get rid of their diseases, with the increase in population of people living with various diseases and myself as a beneficiary to DR UTU traditional cure I thought I too should reach the world via comment. Many People believed traditional herbs are so primitive and some are even shy to purchase it in public. Some went as far as trashing the legendary name of herbal medicine hiding its numerous advantages and let publicly it disadvantage and yet makes it look big, all this are just for pharmaceutical gain. All pharmaceutical cure are derived from existing traditional herbal cure from ages.
    Yes! I'm here to tell the world the actual FACT! which is; there is herbal cure for herpes, Ebola, HIV, cancers, hepatitis, ulcers, asthma, pile, diabetes and many big names of diseases. all my career I've lived my life believing and making research on this, till I confirmed it four years ago. Since four years ago and till today I still say yes! That among many real traditional herbalist Dr Nze Utu Njoku @ (drutuherbalcure) cures this diseases using African traditional herbs. After he cured me four years ago of genital herpes, ever since then I worked with him distance never a barrier, I'm a living witness to this. And I have directed both genital and oral herpes patients to him and they are permanently cured. I'm Ethan Oliver from Australia and also a herbal dealer and lover. I'm also a researcher on herbs for good health. Which also include Africa traditional herbal treatment, I support Herbal treatment, cure and vaccines. My view is based on my extensive research over a very long period of time, and my conclusion is, there is cure to all natural diseases including HSV, HIV, CANCERS, DIABETES, using the right medications with the right herbalist. Are you herpes positive and permanently want get rid of this disease or any of this big name diseases don't be scared to save yourself, contact Dr Utu for permanent herbal cure. Be bold and smart Don't be fooled by selfish people who say, cure is impossible.

  16. Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection's can't cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of Herpes, Hpv HIV/AIDS & STDs, Diabetics, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, trichomoniasis, etc. by herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past years but Dr Chike cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. Contact Dr on Whats-App . +2333502715551. text/call via: +1 (719) 629 0982 , or you can also contact through his Facebook Page @ Dr Chike Herbal Remedy.
