Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the improvement of Guillain-Barre syndrome after long-term combination treatment with Korean medicine.Methods: A patient was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome and treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, moxibustion, and exercise, including quadruped walking after three hospital admissions. To evaluate muscle strength and weakness, we measured manual muscle function, gait pattern, and the speed of quadruped walking.Results: The patient's muscle weakness in the extremities and gait stance were improved. The speed of quadruped walking was increased.Conclusion: We consider that combined treatment with Korean medicine might be effective for the muscle weakness of Guillain-Barre syndrome with a poor prognostic factor. To verify the effectiveness of this treatment, further research is needed.

Abstract Objectives To compare the clinical profile and long-term outcome of children with asymmetry weakness and symmetry weakness in Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS). Methods We retrospective analysis the clinical parameters, auxiliary examinations and long-term outcome between asymmetry weakness and symmetry weakness in childhood GBS. Results A total of 72 children were included, 12 children had asymmetry weakness. Six children were transient asymmetry weakness and six children were persistent asymmetry weakness. Compared to symmetry weakness children, asymmetry weakness had more preschool children (75% vs 25%, P=0.005), longer days on hospital(26.5(15-37) days vs 11(9-15) days, p =0.000), more mechanical ventilation in children(50% vs 8.33%, p=0.000), higher Disease severity score(DSS)at nadir of disease(4(3-5) vs 3(1-4), p=0.010), more axonal subtypes(50% vs 15%, p=0.013) and more complications(58.33% vs 8.33%, p=0.000). Eight children had sequelae and sixty-four children had good recovery. Compared to good recovery group, sequelae group had more axonal subtypes(62.5% vs 15.63%, p=0.002) and more persistent asymmetry weakness(62.5% vs 4.69%, p=0.000). Conclusions In conclusion, asymmetry weakness had two types in GBS, namely transient and persistent asymmetry weakness. Asymmetry weakness in GBS indicated more complex condition during disease than symmetry weakness. Persistent asymmetry weakness and axonal subtypes in GBS related with sequelae. Anterior horn cells in the spinal cord involvement may be the possible function in persistent asymmetry weakness combined with axonal subtypes in GBS.

Variable Clinical Presentation

Diagnosing Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) in children is challenging due to its highly variable clinical presentation. However, the clinical profile still becomes the hallmark of diagnosis. Thus, this study was aimed at exploring the clinical profile of pediatric GBS. This is a retrospective study of clinical profile at a national referral hospital in West Java, Indonesia from January 2011‒December 2015. From a total of 40 patients, 27 complete medical records were included in the study. The gender distribution, females were outnumbered, male. Most patients were in preschool (4-5 years) and school-age (6-12 years) category. All patients had bilateral, progressive, and ascending pattern muscle weakness. Muscle weakness limited in legs was evident in 29.6% of patients. Sensory deficits were presented in 37%, autonomic dysfunction 14.8%, cranial nerve involvement 29.6%, and respiratory failure 11.1%. Most patients were discharged from the hospital with improvement. GBS profile in our pediatric patients has wide-ranging manifestation thus diagnosis criteria covering all patients are very important.

Abstract Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute single-phase causal disease that occurs after an infection. An analysis ranges from 0.5-1.5/100,000 children, predominates in males. Initiatives with the limbs followed by progressive, symmetrical muscle weakness, with the principle of lower nodes (lower limbs). In children, the predominance is the difficulty of gait and greater involvement of the cranial pairs. Young children are difficult to diagnose because they have atypical complaints and a more challenging neurological examination. In case of suspicion, the patient should be hospitalized in a pediatric ICU, where he/she should remain monitored, with frequent surveillance and treatment should not be delayed, reducing the frequency and severity of complications.
