The aim of our article is to shed light on the problem of the development of Guillain-Barre syndrome after COVID-19 infection Materials and methods The main research methods we used were scientific research and the actual description of our own clinical case. Laboratory research methods, magnetic resonance imaging, and electromyography were used to confirm the diagnosis and perform differential diagnostics. Results. In 2021, the Center for Acute Neurology and Pain Treatment treated 12 patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. The clinical picture of GBS includes progressive motor and sensory disorders in the extremities and pain. We bring to your attention a clinical case of GBS in patient B., who was treated at the clinical hospital "Feofania". Patient B., 32 years old, was hospitalized in the Feofania Clinical Hospital with complaints of weakness in her arms and legs, inability to walk, foreign body sensation in the throat, difficulty swallowing, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing. A few weeks before the disease, the patient was treated for a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient's condition gradually deteriorated by day 25 of the disease, despite plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin and glucocorticoid therapy. However, from day 29, the condition gradually improved and on re-examination after 2 months, the patient remained mild distal paresis of the leg muscles (up to 4 points), decreased tendon reflexes from the lower extremities. Disorders of sensitivity and function of the pelvic organs were not observed. Conclusion. In our article, we present a case of COVID-19-associated GBS with a classic clinical picture, increased peripheral paresis, stabilization, and gradual recovery of all functions (respiration, pelvic function, motor, sensory, and reflex) through pathogenetic treatment and follow-up rehabilitation measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
