Case series of guillain barre syndrome variants associated with COVID-19 infection

ABSTRACT

The novel corona virus has wreaked havoc in both developing and developed countries. The respiratory effects of the virus were well reported early on but with each passing day, effects of covid-19 on others systems came to light. In this report, we bring forward the series of Guillain-barre syndrome (GBS) cases with the varying presentation in covid infected patients. In our cases, GBS either occurred during ongoing covid symptoms or within the two weeks of resolution of covid related pulmonary symptoms. Through this case series, we are reporting one case each of garden variety, AMAN variety and Miller Fisher variant of GBS. We aim to supplement the already existing limited data available on other systemic illnesses associated with covid-19 and to make physicians aware of the potential neurological diagnosis in covid cases.
