Abstract

Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune nerve disease that presents with generalized weakness and sensory symptoms due to demyelination of the peripheral nerves. Diagnosis is usually supported by clinical findings of weakness with areflexia, electromyogram, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Most patients respond to immune-modulating therapies and recover with little to no residual weakness.
