© 2016 Journal of ophthalmic and Vision research | published by Wolters KluWer medKnoW Dear Editor, We report a 15-year-old girl who presented to us with a history of progressive weakness of both upper and lower limbs for 2 days before. On examination, the power of lower and upper limbs were 2/5 and 4/5, respectively. She had decreased tone and areflexic quadriparesis with mute plantar. The pat...

In the article by Jiménez-Ruiz et al., entitled “Neuro-logic manifestations of COVID-19”,1 it was concluded that “we must bear in mind infectious and non-infec-tious complications affect nervous system such as encephalitis, seizures, Guillain-Barre syndrome, dis-seminated encephalomyelitis hemorrhagic leuko-encephalitis, which are disorders can occur during or after viral infections.

Abstract In many instances, the differential diagnosis between Guillain–Barre syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) may be challenging. The aim of this letter to editor is elucidate comments concerns raised, regarding our latest published article dealing with two patients that developed acute-onset CIDP after SARS-CoV-2 infection Ad26.COV2.S vaccination, respecti...

INTRODUCTION We present a case of an unusual clinical manifestation of Guillain-Barre syndrome following a pre-existing herpes virus infection. Although there have been several reports describing the co-existence of herpes virus infection and Guillain-Barre syndrome, we undertook a more in-depth study of the cross-reactivity between herpes viruses and recommend a follow-up study based on serolo...

We report a case of early-onset acute Guillain-Barre syndrome associated with reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection after nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST). Reactivation of EBV infection preceded disease onset, and the virus load increased concomitantly with disease progression (doubling time, 2.7 days). This case raises concern about the expanding scope of manifesta...

Central or peripheral demyelinating disorders including neuromyelitis optica, isolated optic neuritis or myelitis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) in patients with tuberculosis have been well documented in the literature. , 2 It has been suggested that they are most likely due to an immune reaction to tuberculosis rather than due to direct invasion of tuberculosis or the adverse effect of ant...

Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is readily diagnosed when the presentation is that of ascending weakness and areflexia. Atypical presentations with preserved, and at times, brisk reflexes, can be a diagnostic dilemma. We describe a patient with GBS who presented with facial diplegia and hyperreflexia on examination and discuss management options.

The Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune mediated progressive polyneuropathy having monophasic illness leading to paralysis. clinical features are ascending symmetrical muscle weakness that may lead respiratory failure. Diagnosis based upon presentation and supported by a lumbar puncture with CSF analysis demonstrating albumin cytological dissociation electrophysiological studies. O...

Inflammatory neuropathies may be due to infection (with a specific casual agent identified) including Lyme disease, HIV, Leprosy, Herpes Zoster, Hepatitis B & C. The other group of are Autoimmune or possibly infectious (but with no specific causal infectious agent identified) including sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome/ acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( AIDP), chronic in...
