“…[11,12] Pediatric GBS patients require respiratory support in 15-20% of cases. [3] Similar to literature, 11 of our patients (22%) had to be put on respiratory support. 6 of them had speech impairment.…”

“…[1,2] There are four main subtypes of GBS according to clinical and pathological features: Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP), acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), and Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS). [3] India is far behind in GBS research as compared to other countries as there might be a low case report of GBS in Indian population. Every study and different region within the same country has a different age of presentation, clinical features and electrophysiological types of GBS.…”

“…Many authors believed that the mechanism of GBS involves an abnormal T-cell response precipitated by an infection [Agrawal et al 2007]. Upper respiratory tract infection was the antecedent infection in most of our cases (67.7%), while acute gastroenteritis occurred in 25.8% of cases.…”

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.

“…The ICP also includes reminders for other important aspects of care which may be overlooked. 17 Other local risk management strategies can also be incorporated into an ICP. An audit at AHCH found that a significant number of admissions of children with a range of conditions to paediatric intensive care could have been prevented by early recognition and treatment.…”

Integrated care pathways are widely used for a range of medical and surgical conditions with the aim of providing a streamlined and unified approach to evidence-based care. They have been used for a number of years in the multidisciplinary management of adults with neurological conditions who are expected to require prolonged rehabilitation. Care pathways have been used in approximately 60 conditions at Alder Hey Children's Hospital over the past few years. This paper describes an experience of a care pathway for children with Guillain -Barré syndrome. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first care pathway to be used for children with a neurological disorder. Preliminary observations, which have yet to be formally audited, suggest that the pathway has benefited patient care and significantly improved patient documentation and interdisciplinary communication. It has also helped to reduce and minimize unnecessary variation from expected evidence-based management.
