“…Our results are consistent with other studies from North America and Europe as most GBS children appear to have AIDP [McGrogan et al 2009;Tang et al 2011]. However, the AMAN pattern was the predominant underlying subtype in China, Japan, and Central and South America [McGrogan et al 2009;Tang et al 2011].…”

“…In our study, females were affected more than males and this is against most of the previous reports which mention that GBS demonstrates a slight male predominance, with a male/female ratio of approximately 1.2-1.5:1 [Pithadia and Kakadia, 2010;Tang et al 2011]. Other researchers in Hong Kong reported a similar predilection between the two sexes [Ma et al 2010].…”

“…Some studies have indicated a seasonal variation, including studies from China [Ho et al 1995] and Brazil [Rocha et al 2004] which demonstrated a peak incidence in summer and spring. Other studies showed no seasonal variation in GBS incidence [Tang et al 2011]. …”

Objective: The aim of our study is to assess the clinico-electrophysiological profile of children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in Upper Egypt and to compare the efficacy of plasmapheresis versus other treatment modalities. Patients and methods:This was a retrospective study of children from January 2010 to October 2014 diagnosed as GBS. It included 62 cases. Results: Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) was the most prevalent type of GBS in our locality. As regards the treatment, 32 cases received plasmapheresis while 30 patients received intravenous immunoglobulin. We found a significant decrease in the duration of hospitalization and a significant increase in the number of children with complete recovery in cases treated with plasmapheresis. Conclusion: GBS is not uncommon in children of Upper Egypt, with AIDP the most prevalent type. Plasmapheresis is the best treatment modalities for GBS as it reduces the duration of hospital stay and hastens the recovery of those children.

Introduction Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory polyradiculoneuritis. Our aim in this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and the long‐term sequelae of GBS in a French pediatric population. Methods In this multicenter, retrospective study we evaluated clinical signs, radiological examinations, laboratory tests, treatments, and outcomes. Results One hundred ten children were included in this investigation. These children presented with walking difficulties, muscle weakness, and cranial nerve impairment. Electrodiagnostic testing revealed 70% with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) and 16% with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN). One hundred children received immunoglobulins. At follow‐up, 77% were cured, whereas 9% had sequelae, associated with an axonal form (P < .01) and a short interval between symptom onset and hospitalization (P < .01). The need for intubation was correlated with peripheral facial paralysis (P < .01) and dysautonomia (P < .01). Discussion Although AIDP and AMAN present in a similar way, the axonal form is associated with a worse outcome.

“…Insight into the incidence of GBS is important for the determination of trend in relation to epidemiological features, such as age, sex, seasonal variation, and geographical location, and to identify any changes in occurrence following exposure to any new environmental agents. The overall incidence of GBS has been estimated to be 1-2 cases per 100,000 in children under 15 years old [8,9,10]. …”

Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyneuropathy, which has become the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis. An accurate estimation of GBS occurrence would be useful for investigating the potential causal relationships between risk factors and GBS. The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence, annual time trend, and some epidemiological aspects of GBS in children in the Southwest of Iran. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted by the Department of Pediatrics of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences from January 2006 to December 2015. We extracted data from the national database of Acute Flaccid Paralysis Surveillance System. Results: A total of 184 subjects with GBS were assessed. The mean age of subjects was 5.43 ± 4.07 years. The average annual incidence rate of GBS was 1.51 per 100,000 children under 15 years old (95% CI: 1.29-1.73). There was no significant statistical difference in GBS incidence rate between girls and boys (p = 0.376). The highest and lowest proportions of the GBS occurrences were in autumn (32.2%) and summer (14.7%), respectively. Conclusions: The findings indicated that the annual incidence rate of GBS in this study was similar to those in other studies in this area.
