Coronavirus disease 2019 , caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] We describe a patient with quadriplegic GBS with dysautonomia preceded by mild COVID-19-induced diarrhea.A 72-year-old man with coronary artery disease, hypertension, and alcohol abuse presented to a tertiary hospital with symmetric paresthesias and ascending appendicular weakness. Seven days earlier he had mild diarrhea, anorexia, and chills, without fever or respiratory symptoms. This condition resolved in 5 days. Weakness began 6 days after diarrhea, and the patient presented 1 day after neurological symptom onset.On admission, he was afebrile with normal vital signs. Mental status and cranial nerves were normal. Strength was 4/5 for neck flexion, and 3/5 for proximal upper and lower extremities bilaterally. Tendon
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.
