“…Olgularımızın öyküsü sorgulandığında birinin yaklaşık bir ay önce kanlı ishal, diğe-rinin ise üç hafta önce üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu geçirdiği öğrenildi. Her yaşta tanı konabilen GuillainBarré sendromu erkeklerde daha sık görülmektedir (7) . Miller-Fisher sendromunun da erkeklerde daha sık görüldüğü bilinen bir gerçektir (2,5) .…”

“…MillerFisher sendromunun klasik triadı oftalmopleji, arefleksi, ataksidir. Bu sendromu Guillain-Barre sendromundan ayıran en önemli özellik beyin sapı tutulumunun olması olup, tanısı için kranial görün-tüleme gereksinimi yoktur (3)(4)(5)(6)(7) . Genellikle 2-3 hafta içerisinde geçirilmiş gastroenterit veya üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonunu takiben akut olarak ortaya çıkarak 8-10 hafta içerisinde iyileşmektedir.…”

Background: GBS (Guillain-Barré Syndrome) is one of the most frequently seen acute polyneuropathy encountered in neurology practice and characterized by progressive motor weakness and loss of reflexes. Objective: The main objectives were to determine the incidence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, distribution of paralysis and hospital outcome of patients within 60 days of admission. Material & methods: The records of all patients followed with flaccid paralysis to the surveillance sites in 11 through the WHO program for Acute Flaccid governorates in Yemen. From 21th September 2004 to 20th September 2013 were reviewed. Those patients suspected to be GBS were examined by a consultant neurologist and pediatric to confirm the diagnosis. At the time of admission specific form was designed to record demographic characteristics, clinical finding and presentation of paralysis. All patients follow up for 60 days. Collected data was entered to Epi info statistical method used by AFP program. Results: During the study period, 808 patients were diagnosed a GBS. Of this 483 (60%) were males and 325 (40%) were females. The age of the patients was ranged (between 1 to 15 years), most of them 457 (57%) were young children of ≤ 5 years old. The overall incidence was 2.8/100,000 population. The outcome of patients showed that 284 (35%) had residual paralysis. 469 (58%) recovered completely, 7 (1%) was lost and 48 (6%) patients died within 60 days of follow up. Conclusion: This study confirms that Guillain-Barré Syndrome is the most common causes of Acute Flaccid Paralysis in Yemen with high morbidity in children.

“…However, most of these proposals were based on open, uncontrolled observations usually comprising a limited range of serological tests, and frequently on only anecdotal case reports [14,16,18,24]. Prospective serological testing has been performed in adults, but to the best of our knowledge it has yet to be carried out in children with GBS [20,43].…”
