Guillain-Barré syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), also known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, is an autoimmune-mediated peripheral neuropathy that primarily affects nerves innervating the face, limbs, and trunk. This disease is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The main symptoms include symmetrical weakness in the limbs, difficulty breathing, facial paralysis, and choking when drinking water.
