ABSTRACT Objectives. To determine the requirement and time to mechanical ventilation and Intensive Care Unit (ICU), hospitalization and hospitalization time, death and disability of the axonal variants of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in comparison with the acute demyelinating variant in patients of all the ages. Materials and methods. The systematic review that included patients with GBS. The exposure variable was the axonal variants and the comparator was acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP). The outcomes were the requirement and time on mechanical ventilation (MV), requirement and time in the ICU, hospitalization time, disability and death. The NewCasttle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess risk of bias. A meta-analysis was conducted to calculate mean differences and relative risks (RR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) using inverse variances and random effects models. Results. Of the 3116 articles found, 46 met the selection criteria. The time on MV was 7.42 days (95% CI: 0.36 to 1.48) and the hospitalization time was 3.11 (95% CI: 0.73 to 5.49) days for the axonal variants. The axonal variants had a RR of 0.47 (95% CI: 0.24 to 0.92) for the requirement of MV in adults, but it was 1.68 (95% CI: 1.25 to 2.25) in children. There was a high statistical heterogeneity. Conclusions. Axonal variants showed, on average, longer MV and hospitalization time, overall and by subgroups. A high MV requirement was found for axonal variants in children; it was lower for adults.

@#Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in northeastern Yunnan Province, China, and to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of GBS in this region. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of inpatients with GBS in the Department of Neurology, Qujing No. 1 Hospital from February 2018 to October 2022, who were mainly from the northeastern regions of Yunnan Province. We compared the clinical characteristics of GBS reported in different regions of China in recent years. Results A total of 112 patients meeting the criteria were retrospectively included in this study, including 49 cases of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) and 33 cases of acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN). In this cohort of patients, GBS occurred frequently in spring and winter, especially in spring (38 cases, 33.9%). AIDP was more common in winter (15 cases, 30.6%), while AMAN was more common in spring (14 cases, 42.4%). The median age of onset was 56 years (range: 8 to 83 years), peaking at the age of 60 to 69 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.60 (69∶43). Upper respiratory tract infection (25 cases, 22.3%) and gastroenteritis (14 cases, 12.5%) were the most common among prodromal infections. AIDP was the most common subtype (49 cases, 51.6%). There were no significant differences between the AIDP and AMAN groups in age of onset, prodromal infection, initial symptoms, clinical manifestations, cerebrospinal fluid protein levels, or therapeutic effects (P>0.05). Twelve patients (10.7%) required mechanical ventilation at nadir. The patients with mechanical ventilation had higher proportions of cranial nerve involvement compared with those without mechanical ventilation, especially in the proportion of dysphagia (75.0% vs 32.0%, P=0.008 1). Upper respiratory tract infection was the main prodromal event of GBS in Dali of Yunnan Province and the southern and eastern regions of China, where the proportions ranged from 22% to 35%. Gastroenteritis was more common in the northern region of China, accounting for 24%. AMAN was the predominant GBS subtype in northern (40%) and eastern (35%) China, while AIDP was the predominant subtype in southern China (49%). Conclusion GBS showed disparities in different regions, with the demyelinating subtype dominant in northeastern Yunnan Province. GBS mainly occurred in men and at the age of 60-69 years, with a double-peak distribution. Gastrointestinal and respiratory infections remained the major prodromal events in this region. Cranial nerve involvement, especially bulbar muscle involvement, might be associated with the risk of mechanical ventilation.

RÉSUMÉ

AIDP (Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy) is a heterogenous condition encompassing several variants. It is a post infectious neurological disorder with an autoimmune pathogenesis with molecular mimicry mechanism. They present commonly with symmetrical ascending type paralysis and absent or diminished deep tendon reflexes. Cranial nerve palsies may or may not be present. The diagnosis is based on the clinical signs and symptoms, nerve conduction studies and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. We herewith report a rare case of AIDP, where the patient came walking to the emergency room with pain abdomen as the only complaint and had no neurological deficits at the time of presentation, hours later, the patient went into cardiac arrest, the cause of which was later thought to be dysautonomia and respiratory failure. The next day, patient developed motor weakness and multiple cranial nerve palsies which is an overlap of AMSAN and Acute Ophthalmoplegia. It is extremely uncommon to present with pain abdomen and cardiac arrest as presenting features in AIDP, AMSAN (Acute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy) variety.

RÉSUMÉ

Rationale: To report a case of cervicobrachial variant of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy presenting with papilledema and GQ1b positivity. Patient concern: A 35-year-old female, 68 days postpartum, presented with headache, vomiting, and gait difficulty in swallowing with bilateral upper limb weakness and difficulty in walking, 13 days after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. Diagnosis: Guillain-Barre syndrome with GQ1b positivity. Intervention: Five cycles of plasmapheresis were given. Outcome: The patient's clinical condition improved. Palatal weakness improved and she could walk without support. There were mild sensory symptoms involving upper limbs which gradually improved. Lessons: AIDP should be considered in case of weakness following ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. Albumino-cytological dissociation and anti-GQ1b positivity are needed to confirmed the diagnosis.

RÉSUMÉ

Objective To investigate the clinical features of recurrent Guillain-barré syndrome. Methods The data on demographic information and clinical features of 286 inpatients with Guillain-barré syndrome were collected. Patients were divided into recurrent group and non-recurrent group based on the number of episodes. The data from those patients with recurrent Guillain-barré syndrome whose information was missing was collected by telephone. Results we identified 22 (7.7%) cases with recurrent Guillain-barré syndrome including one case of Miller fisher syndrome. The total episodes were 55. Sixteen patients had 2 episodes, 3 patients had 3 episodes, 1 patients had 4 episodes and 2 patients had 5 episodes. Compared with non-recurrent group, patients with recurrent Guillain-barré syndrome had younger onset [(36.36 ±14.51)y vs. (45.72 ±16.13)y, t=-2.633, P=0.009], the shorter interval between the initial manifestations to peak [(2.18±0.73)d vs.(4.24±2.98)d, t=-8.537, P=0.000], the lower GBS disability score (68.2% vs. 31.8% , χ2=4.209, P=0.040) and less involvement in the cranial nerve (13.6% vs. 37.5% , χ2=5.040, P=0.025). Conclusion The recurrent risk may be considered in patients with Guillain-barré syndrome when younger patients, have lower GBS disability score and the shorter interval between the initial manifestations to peak.

RÉSUMÉ

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition, acute in onset , characterized by diffuse vascular thrombosis, leading to multiple organ failure in a short period of time in the presence of positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies are the predominant antibodies associated with CAPS. Treatment options for CAPS include anticoagulation, steroids, plasma exchange, cyclophosphamide therapy, and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. The high rate of mortality warrants greater awareness among clinicians for early diagnosis and treatment of CAPS. In this case report, 30-yearold post-partum female presented with progressive weakness, shortness of breath of grade IV and swelling of all the four limbs of 15 days duration with an episode of seizure. Investigations revealed MRV - cortical sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) of transverse and sigmoid sinus, Raised anti-ds DNA anticardiolipin and lupus anticoagulant, 24 hour urinary proteins – 540 mg/day indicating clinical lupus nephritis. Weakness of all the limbs with areflexia indicated acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP). 2D echocardiography- post partum dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP).

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Serial nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are recommended for differentiating axonal and demyelinating Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), but this approach is not suitable for early diagnoses. This study was designed to identify possible NCS parameters for differentiating GBS subtypes. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 70 patients with GBS who underwent NCS within 10 days of symptom onset. Patients with axonal GBS and acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) were selected based on clinical characteristics and serial NCSs. An antiganglioside antibody study was used to increase the diagnostic certainty. RESULTS: The amplitudes of median and ulnar nerve sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) were significantly smaller in the AIDP group than in the axonal-GBS group. Classification and regression-tree analysis revealed that the distal ulnar sensory nerve SNAP amplitude was the best predictor of axonal GBS. CONCLUSIONS: Early upper extremity sensory NCS findings are helpful in differentiating axonal-GBS patients with antiganglioside antibodies from AIDP patients.

RÉSUMÉ

A 31-year-old healthy mother of twins developed Guillain-Barré syndrome in her fourth gestational week of pregnancy. Impaired motor coordination, sensation, and joint position sense were observed. Immunoglobulin therapy was not performed given the early stage of pregnancy. She received rehabilitation to accommodate changes in her body shape and movements necessary for pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare. The patient delivered a healthy baby by cesarean section. By 42 weeks postpartum, she was capable of almost all housework activities and childcare. Family support was important in this case. Patient-oriented intervention, which included periodic confirmation and establishment of goals in each phase and continuity of intervention, was also essential.

RÉSUMÉ

Introduction. Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a post infectious polyneuropathy involving mainly motor but sometimes sensory and autonomic nerves. It is an acquired disease of the peripheral nerves that is characterized by rapidly progressing paralysis, areflexia and albumino-cytological dissociation in CSF. Methodology: Prospective, descriptive, observational, hospital based study was carried out to find out the clinico-epidemiological features of GBS including existing treatment modalities and its outcome. All cases fulfilled the criteria for AFP (Acute flaccid Paralysis) surveillance was included. Cases were reviewed for full medical history and examinations. To confirm the diagnosis, necessary investigations were carried out and combined with clinical symptoms. Results: Thirty patients were included in the study during study period. Among them 90% were diagnosed as GBS, 7.4% patients of GBS were associated with hypokalemic paralysis, 7.4% diagnosed as transverse myelitis and 3.7% diagnosed as idiopathic neuropathy. Different types of GBS were classified as AIDP (Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) 62.96%, AMAN (Acute motor axonal neuropathy) - 25.52%, AMASAN (Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy) - 3.3% and MFS (Miller fisher’s syndrome) - 6.6% according to NCV result. Male female ratio is 1.7:1.0. There was 14.8% patients had relapse within 5 year. Associated diseases were URTI, pneumonia, sore throat and diarrhea. Facial Nerve palsy was commonest cranial nerve involvement.Sixty percentage of patients presented with sensory symptoms. There was transient bowel and bladder involvement in 20% of the cases. 69.2% patients became bed ridden at the nadir. There was albumin-cytological dissociation in 80% case. Majority of patients improved with supportive treatment alone, 19.5% patient required ventilator support among them 40% died. 7.4% of cases expired during treatment. Half of the patients fully recovered within 3 months. Conclusion: GBS is the commonest cause of AFP, AIDP being commonest subtype in our setting. We have to improve our existing treatment facilities and extend to different centers to detect and treat GBS. Most of the patients improve with supportive treatment alone. Ventilator support indicates grave prognosis.

RÉSUMÉ

PURPOSE: Guillain-Barre Syndrome(GBS) is an inflammatory polyneuropathy characterized by progressive, symmetric weakness and areflexia. GBS is currently subdivided into AIDP(acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy), AMAN(acute motor axonal neuropathy), AMSAN(acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy), and other subtypes based on results from electrophysiological studies. Our study is intended to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pediatric GBS and its subtypes. METHODS: From January 1999 to June 2009, We retrospectively reviewed of fifty patients with GBS the clinical manifestations and laboratory findings at the Asan Medical Center. Forty-six patients were classified into subtypes based on the results from electrophysiological studies. RESULTS: Forty-five(90.0%) patients exhibited lower limb weakness, 26(56.5%) patients had both lower and upper limb weakness, and eleven(23.9%) had sensory nerve involvement seen at their initial presentation. Of the 46 patients, 22(47.8%) had AIDP, seven had AMAN(15.2%), 12 were unclassified(26.0%), and five had normal nerve conduction studies. The AIDP and AMAN groups were not significantly different in age, gender, and clinical characteristics. Five patients(22.7%) in the AIDP group and one patient(14.3%) in the AMAN group had respiratory failure, which did not differ significantly according to their group. However, the AMAN group needed a significantly longer period of time on average to walk independently than the AIDP group(99.2+/-97.0 days vs. 39.1+/-29.7 days, P=0.022). CONCLUSION: Our electrophysiological data show that 15.2% of the pediatric patients with GBS had the AMAN-type disease, and these children underwent longer periods of recovery than children in the AIDP group.

RÉSUMÉ

Objective To investigate the clinical features of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and clarify the long-term prognosis of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) and acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN). Methods We conducted an analysis of the clinical data of 50 patients with GBS treated in our hospital between 2003 and 2007. According to the eleetrophysiological criteria, the eases were classified into AIDP (n=24) and AMAN eases (n=22), with 4 eases of unknown classification. The patients unable to walk upon discharge were followed up for more than 6 months, and the clinical features and prognosis of the two groups were compared. Results The age, gender, cranial nerve involvement, Hughes grade at the initial neurological examination and at the time of symptom peak did not differ significantly between the patients with AIDP and AMAN (P>0.05), and most of the AMAN patients had a good recovery. The number of patients capable of walking at one month after the onset was comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). In AMAN group, the percentages of patients with slow recovery and those having rapid recovery were significantly higher than those in AIDP group (P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical recovery of AMAN patients can be either rapid or prolonged, and rigorous immunotherapy should be administered to achieve early recovery and ensure more favorable outcomes of the patients.

RÉSUMÉ

Este trabajo revisa el conocimiento actual sobre el síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) en niños. El SGB se define como una parálisis flácida arrefléxica aguda y se clasifica en 4 subgrupos: polirradiculopatía aguda inflamatoria desmielinizante (AIDP), neuropatía axonal sensitivo-motora aguda (AMSAN), neuropatía axonal motora aguda (AMAN) y síndrome de Miller-Fisher (SMF). La AIDP se asocia en un 30-50% a compromiso de pares craneales, lo cual no se observa en la AMAN. El SMF se caracteriza por ataxia, oftalmoplejía y arreflexia, pero puede presentar también compromiso de pares craneales. Datos recientes de la anatomía patológica y la fisiopatología del SGB destacan la importancia de la infección por Campylobacter jejuni en la generación de anticuerpos anti-gangliósidos (GM1 en AIDP, GQ1b en SMF y GD1a en AMAN) que lesionan la mielina en AIDP y SMF y el axón en AMAN. El diagnóstico diferencial debe descartar enfermedades del sistema nervioso central (SNC) (encefalitis, encefalomielitis, mielitis), síndromes miasténicos, neuropatías tóxicas por metales pesados, fármacos, substancias químicas o toxinas animales y cuadros miopáticos, especialmente la miositis aguda infecciosa benigna y la neuromiopatía del paciente en la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Es importante el tratamiento con inmunoglobulina en dosis total de 2 gramos por kilogramo a administrar en 48 horas. La plasmaféresis puede ser igualmente eficaz. El SGB tiene buen pronóstico en niños, con una recuperación total en el 85% de los casos. La rehabilitación es fundamental para lograr una recuperación más rápida e integral.


This paper reviews the current knowledge about Guillain- Barré syndrome (GBS). GBS is defined as an acute, areflexic, flaccid paralysis, which is classified into 4 subgroups: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) and Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS). AIDP is associated in 30-50% of cases with cranial nerve involvement, which is not observed in AMAN. MFS is characterized by ataxia, ophthalmoplegia and areflexia, but it may also present cranial nerve dysfunction. Recent data on the pathology and pathophysiology of GBS emphasize the important role of Campylobacter jejuni infection in generating anti-ganglioside antibodies (GM1 in AIDP, GQ1b in MFS and GD1a in AMAN), which damage myelin in AIDP and MFS and axons in AMAN. The differential diagnosis must rule out other disorders of the central nervous system (encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, myelitis), myasthenic syndromes, toxic neuropathies induced by heavy meals, drugs, chemical substances or animal toxins, and myopathic conditions, especially acute benign infectious myositis and neuromyopathy of the intensive care unit patient. It is important the treatment with immune globulin, at a total dose of 2 grams per kilogram administered over 48 hours. Plasmapheresis can be equally effective. GBS has a good prognosis in children with a total recovery in 85% of cases. Rehabilitation is crucial to attain a more rapid and global improvement.
