Abstract

Guillain-Barre Syndrome is an important cause of severe, acute weakness in children, and Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) is the most common subtype [1]. GBS is characterized by a monophasic, ascending, and symmetrical paralysis that progresses over days to weeks and is associated with areflexia. AIDP is a post-infectious autoimmune process to peripheral nerves that causes inflammation and destruction of myelin.
