“…Psychological disorders associated with GBS such as anxiety, depression, post‐traumatic stress disorder, insomnia and other sleep disturbances 29,30 can hinder recovery. A positive attitude to recovery was seen as helpful and was consistent with GBS being perceived, at least at the initial stages of the illness, to be a temporary condition with a predictable outcome of recovery 31,32 .…”

Background Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare inflammatory disorder affecting the peripheral nerves. Although typically there is full neurological recovery, some people continue to experience residual physical, psychological or social problems longer term. Evidence describing the experiences of people with GBS is limited. Objective We aimed to explore the experiences of people with GBS in the UK. Design We used qualitative (face‐to‐face and telephone) interviews to explore experiences of people with GBS. Audio‐recorded data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using the Framework Method supported by NVivo 11. Setting and Participants We purposively recruited a sample of 16 volunteers with a prior diagnosis of GBS of varying age, sex, ethnicity, location, marital status, time since diagnosis and length of hospital stay to maximize differences in experience. Interviewees were required to have been discharged from hospital, able to give informed consent, able to speak and understand English and currently resident in the United Kingdom. Results The key themes arising from the analysis were as follows: the importance of early diagnosis; the experiences of inpatient care; the importance of active support for recovery; the need for communication throughout the course of the illness; the need for greater awareness, knowledge and provision of information by health‐care staff; and path to achieving function. Conclusion This is the first qualitative study exploring experiences of people with GBS in the UK through their whole illness journey from onset to recovery. The findings contribute to our understanding of the experiences and support needs of people recovering from GBS.

We examined whether time to onset of paresthesia was associated with indicators of severity of World Trade Center (WTC) exposure. We analyzed data from 3411 patients from the Bellevue Hospital—WTC Environmental Health Center. Paresthesia was defined as present if the symptom occurred in the lower extremities with frequency “often” or “almost continuous.” We plotted hazard functions and used the log-rank test to compare time to onset of paresthesia between different exposure groups. We also used Cox regression analysis to examine risk factors for time-to-paresthesia after 9/11/2001 and calculate hazard ratios adjusted for potential confounders. We found significantly elevated hazard ratios for paresthesia for (a) working in a job that required cleaning of WTC dust in the workplace; and (b) being heavily exposed to WTC dust on September 11, 2001, after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and body mass index. These observational data are consistent with the hypothesis that exposure to WTC dust or some other aspect of cleaning WTC dust in the workplace, is associated with neuropathy and paresthesia. Further neurological evaluations of this and other WTC-exposed populations is warranted.

CIDP) can be defined as a spectrum of different clinical phenotypes which are characterized by autoimmune, inflammatory and demyelinating injuries, primarily affecting the peripheral nerves and nerve roots. Most patients with CIDP have a chronic course of neurological disability, but about a third of cases exhibit a relapsing-remitting course. Classic phenotype of CIDP involves symmetric compromise of proximal and distal muscle strength and sensitivity, associated with generalized areflexia. For an accurate diagnosis, demonstration of nerve demyelination by electromyography or nerve biopsy is required. Due to the affectation of relatively young, labor-active people and the high risk for neurological disability by the disease, treatment should be initiated early. The predominant lines of therapy, in its initial phase, are high-dose intravenous corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis, while the maintenance therapy is mainly based on lowdose oral corticosteroids. This article presents a case report of a patient evaluated in our hospital and diagnosed with CIDP and exposes an updated literature review about this disease.
