How To Diagnose And Treat Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Guillain-Barre syndrome is an autoimmune condition. This rare disorder seems to involve the patient's immune system attacking their nervous system. The symptoms of this syndrome may start with tingling and weakness in the patient's extremities. This can likely spread throughout their body. Some patients may experience paralysis. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an exact cause of this condition. However, some patients have reported having had an infection within six weeks of their first symptoms. This appears to apply to more than half of Guillain-Barre syndrome patients.
