1. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS): rare autoimmune condition
that affects roughly
2/100,000 people, preceded by a recent infection (ascending
muscle weakness),
Flaccid paralysis can occur within 48 to 72 this is
2. most common pathogens cause GBS: campylobacter jejuni,
(CMV),
COVID-19, (HIV), (HPV)
Epstein Barr virus (EBV), mycoplasma
pneumoniae varicella-zoster virus these are
pathogens in
NR 572
,3. GBS presentation: typically present with a history of
respiratory or gastrointestinal illness two to four weeks before
the onset of symptoms what is this
4. Initial findings GBS: typically progress in a characteristic
ascending and symmetrical pattern that involves the truncal
muscles, arms, and respiratory muscles in 5. GBS in cranial
nerves: are involved, clients may complain of diplopia, facial
droop, dysphagia, dysarthria, and pupillary disturbances.
Sensory changes, paresthesia, and numbness are common in
6. respiratory or oropharyngeal muscles in GBS: are
involved, shortness of breath, exertional dyspnea, and slurred
speech may occur in what disease
7. GBS in Autonomic changes: including anhidrosis,
diaphoresis, or dizziness while standing (orthostatic hypotension)
may be present, complaints of muscle pain or cramping in this
disease
8. Physical exam in GBS: tachy, brady, tachypnea, orthostatic
hypotension alterations between hypertension and hypotension
, poor inspiratory effort, hyporeflexia or areflexia of affected areas
(symmetric), hypotonia, impaired proprioception
inability to walk or stand despite reasonable strength
ptosis, ophthalmoparesis (limitation of eye movement) are all
physical of
9. differential diagnosis in GBS: diphtheria, lyme
polyradiculitis, vasculitis neuropathy
poliomyelitis, West Nile virus, tick paralysis, MG, botulism
organophosphate poisoning are differentials for
10. clinical diagnosis Guillain-Barré (GB): antecedent events
such as viral or respiratory illness, areflexia, and developing
paralysis without fever or systemic symptoms this is
11. Guillain-Barré (GB) test: (CBC), (CMP), (CSF symptoms
have been present for less than 48 hours), MRI, CT are all normal
in
