There have been several reported cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) infection that were associated with an increased incidence of neurological manifestations, including Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). This review aims to present information on the reports of GBS associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Our review is retrospective work examining articles published from the 1 April 2020 to the 8 May 2021 in the English language. We used the diagnostic criteria and classification published by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and Brighton Collaboration. GBS is usually a postinfectious syndrome, but GBS in the COVID-19 pandemic also takes on a para-infectious profile. In the reports, the genetic factor has a role in developing GBS in some patients. In conclusion, the association between COVID-19 and GBS is not very clear. Still, one mechanism is strongly associated with COVID-19 and immune-mediated neurological complications, which is molecular mimicry between SARS-CoV-2 and human autoantigens.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) also known as acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) is an immunologically mediated rare neurological disorder. The basic pathogenic mechanism is regulated by molecular mimicry. Usually there is a history of preceding infection which occurs some weeks before the attack. The infections are gastroenteritis or upper respiratory. The clinical spectrum of ranges from mild weakness to devastating paralysis including respiratory failure. Majority of the cases recover but a few continue to have residual neurodeficit. The usual clinical course of GBS from the starting of weakness to development of maximum neurologic progression usually progresses over 4 weeks. Hyperacute GBS is a term used when the progression of weakness occurs within hours to days to maximum neurologic impairment. In this case report we present a 28 year old female who developed rapidly progressive, areflexic quadriparesis with respiratory muscle involvement requiring mechanical ventilatory support within nine hours. Clinical , laboratory and nerve conduction studies suggested a diagnosis of GBS.

The review & discussion of research articles, journals, and some books help us to understand dementia. This review article may help to understand What is dementia? How to prevent dementia? What care we should take to minimize the possibility of dementia? The number of dementia patients is increasing day by day. Dementia is very common in old age. At least 7% of geriatric people aged 60 and above are suffering from dementia. The multitude of geriatric people including those with dementia is arising and the adolescent/teenager people death rate is reducing. Dementia is an unusual part of getting old. The common risk factors of dementia might be physically inactive, excessive alcohol intake, depression, hypertension, illiteracy, unable to hear, social isolation, smoking, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, chronic stress, etc. Dementia is not only caused due to risk factors but also it causes because of genetic, clinical, and neurological characteristics. About 50-80% of dementia cases are suffered because of Alzheimer's Disease. Alzheimer's disease and further neurodegenerative disorders begin sometime before the clinical symptoms appearing. Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Psychiatric Disorders, Vascular Dementia, and other neurodegenerative diseases like Lewy Body Dementia and Frontotemporal Dementia are also common causes of dementia. Some types of dementia are common in first-degree relatives e.g. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Geriatric people suffer from dementia because of the degenerative changes in the brain which occur during aging. Only 25-40% of moderate-stage dementia is acknowledged in primary care. Patients suffering from dementia normally reject the fundamental independence accessible to normal people. Till now dementia prevention, intervention, and care will significantly improve living and dying for the benefit of a patient suffering from dementia and their families, and thus society.
