Clinical Features and Outcome of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Children.

Abstract

Distal lower limb weakness, reduced deep tendon reflex, and neuropathic pain are the main clinical presentation in children with GBS but in some patients, DTR may be normal or even exaggerated in early stage of disease. Revising the diagnostic criteria for GBS may be necessary. Most of our patients had complete recovery. The only death was due to autonomic involvement. Autonomic dysfunction could be associated with catastrophic outcome and patients with these clinical presentations need critical care.
