PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In Guillain-Barré syndrome, the body’s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. The syndrome can affect the nerves that control muscle movement as well as those that transmit pain, temperature and touch sensations. This can result in muscle weakness and loss of sensation in the legs and/or arms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Guillain-Barré syndrome is thought to be caused by a problem with the immune system, the body’s natural defence against illness and infection. Normally the immune system attacks any germs that get into the body. But in people with Guillain-Barré syndrome, something goes wrong and it mistakenly attacks the nerves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main types are: Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP), the most common form in North America and Europe. The most common sign of AIDP is muscle weakness that starts in the lower part of your body and spreads upward. Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), in which paralysis starts in the eyes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which your immune system mistakenly attacks part of the peripheral nervous system-the network of nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord.
