Aim of the study: The association of GBS and meningitis in a pediatric population is infrequent. Given the limited number of reported cases from pediatric patients and considering that treatment guidelines are predominantly based on data gathered from adult patients; this is an opportunity to pay attention to different perspectives.Materials and methods: We present a case of a pediatric patient with a positive SARS-CoV2 test and acute meningitis followed by Campylobacter jejuni associated Guillain-Barré Syndrome.Results: To our knowledge, this is the first case of a pediatric patient presenting with the combination Guillain-Barré Syndrome following acute meningitis in the setting of a SARS-CoV2 infection.Conclusions: This case highlights the importance of recognizing vague and non-specific symptoms in pediatric patients, such as gait unsteadiness. Improving awareness of uncommon associations improves treatment and patient outcomes.
