Standard questionnaires were used to record clinical data on was recorded on a standardized questionnaire, which included patients' age, sex, antecedent infectious history, neurological signs and symptoms and ventilation requirements. The hospital course, including therapy given and the functional status of patients, was analyzed, including therapy given and the functional status of patients.ResultsNinety-one cases of acute flaccid paralysis were admitted to the hospitals during the study period. Eighty-three cases, age range 10 months to 11 years, were later diagnosed as GBS afterwards, with an age range of 10 months to 11 years. The mean age for disease onset was 4.2 years; there were 47 boys and 34 girls, male to female ratio 1:0.7. Upper respiratory tract infection (62.6%) was the most common antecedent event, followed by gastrointestinal infections (19%), urinary tract infection (1.2%) and chicken pox (2.4%), while the remaining cases (14.8%) had no other cases (14.8%) did not have any reliable history of any preceding antecedent infections. Most patients developed GBS within one month of the preceding infection. Cranial nerve abnormalities (19.3%), autonomic dysfunction (7.2%) and respiratory failure requiring intubation (10.8%) were also common. The in-patient mortality was 2.4% (2 of 83).ConclusionGBS was found to occur slightly more often in male patients, majority of whom had histories of previous infection. Despite persistent disability, in-hospital mortality was low.Keywords:Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Acute Flaccid Paralysis, Acute Weakness,Children. |
