Article Synopsis
- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune condition affecting the nerves, with better outcomes linked to early detection and treatment; a study analyzed data from 1,166 patients to understand its clinical and epidemiological profile.
- Around 35% of the patients are over 50 years old, with a notable seasonal peak in winter; complications observed include facial palsy and notable conduction block in nerve conduction studies.
- The study indicates that both intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and plasma exchange show similar outcomes, but IVIG, though more expensive, tends to result in shorter hospital stays.
