Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Recognizing Early Symptoms & Seeking Prompt Treatment - Dr Mahendra J V
Overview
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated neuropathy that causes limb weakness, often following infections like those caused by Campylobacter bacteria. Prevention is focused on proper hygiene, clean water, and consuming well-cooked food to avoid infections like influenza.
Early symptoms, including difficulty with simple movements, should prompt immediate consultation with a neurologist for timely treatment.
Dr Mahendra J V, HOD & Consultant Neurologist at Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, Bengaluru, explains that early intervention is crucial for effective GBS management, as it can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
