Clin Case Rep. 2023 Mar 30;11(4):e7104. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.7104. eCollection 2023 Apr.

Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disease that often manifests as a post-viral complication. However, its association with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is unclear. We present a rare case of GBS secondary to COVID-19 infection complicated by rapidly progressive sensorimotor deterioration resistant to plasma exchange therapy.
