Background Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) is most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis, affect peripheral nerves with distinctive features clinical, pathological and prognosis. Patient and methods this study is prospective of 60 patients admitted at al-kadymia teaching hospital from first January 2004 to end April 2009. Age includes 1 to ≤11 years. Diagnosis was by clinical examination and confirmed by CSF tests and nerve conduction velocity study. Results It was found that 32 patients were male and 28 were female. Cranial nerves involved in 30% of patients. Sensory symptoms found in 16%. CSF changes was seen in 85.5% patients. Antecedent events were found in 27 patients out of 60, 14 had history of upper respiratory tract infection 45%, 7 had gastroenteritis 11%, 6 patients had history of fever 3 weeks earlier 10% and 15 patients had complicated by respiratory failure managed by mechanical ventilators, During this study 4 patients had been died. Conclusions: Current study conclude about 45% of patients had history antecedent events in as upper respiratory tract infection , gastroenteritis and fever, so cerebrospinal fluid CSF cell in the majority of cases within normal range and mostly lymphocytes, Cranial nerves were affected in most patients without serious sequels so Steroid was not given to most of patients in our study without any significant effect on the course of disease , Hospitalization was range from 2 week to 4 week, Recovery was range from 4 to 12 week and Death rate was 6% .

Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) is characterized by acute onset of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and loss of tendon reflexes with relative sparing of strength in the extremities and trunk. Our patient Mr. Akter Sheikh, 40 years male, non diabetic, non hypertensive, presented with generalized weakness and difficulty in walking for 7 days preceded by a history of respiratory tract infection. After clinical and CSF examination, he was diagnosed as a case of Miller-Fisher syndrome. With treatment he improved significantly.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jan 2015;10(1): 44-45

Abstract Background: To analyze the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in adults and children in North China using two antibody detection methods, and to guide prevention and treatment.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from September 2017 to May 2021. Mycoplasma pneumoniae total antibody was detected using particle agglutination (PA). Anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM in patients with respiratory tract infection was detected by indirect immunofluorescence. All patients were divided into 9 groups according to age: ≤1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-14, 15-18, 19-39, 40-59, 60-79, ≥80,Results: The positive rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae total antibody in 5,666 patients with community-acquired pneumonia was 40.13%. In adults and children, the positive rates were 19.92% and 77.3% (p<0.05), respectively. The positive rates in males and females was 37.89% and 42.40% (p<0.05), respectively. The positive rate for anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM in 5,746 patients with respiratory tract infection was 28.56%, and 10.37% and 36.82% in adults and children (p<0.05), respectively. In males and females, the positive rate for anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM was 24.56% and 33.38% (p<0.05). The highest positive rates for total antibody and anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM were recorded in autumn. Of the 1,975 patients tested for Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody using both methods simultaneously, 26.71% were negative for total antibody and 8.63% had titers ranging between 1:40 and 1:80 when positive for IgM antibody. When negative for anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM, total antibody titer was ≥1:160 in 34.94% of the patients.Conclusion: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the main cause of respiratory tract infection and its incidence is highest in autumn. Because Mycoplasma pneumoniae was more commonly detected in women and children, screening should be strengthened in these groups.

Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is an inflammatory thyroid disease of post-viral origin; linked with many viruses such as SARS-COVID-2. The objective of this work is to report a case of SAT associated with COVID-19 vaccination, in a healthy patient with no history of previous COVID-19 or upper respiratory tract infection.
