Guillain-Barré Syndrome in an Immunocompromised Patient: A Case Report.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in post-transplant patients is a rare clinical presentation. Although in the literature this neurological condition has been mainly associated with viral infections secondary to immunosuppression, GBS should not only be suspected in patients with an acute condition. It is essential to always rule out a viral or bacterial cause, looking for the most common sources, i.e., urinary, respiratory, and gastrointestinal. The diagnosis of GBS is clinically based, and its management is based on the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or plasma exchange. Its timely diagnosis allows treatment to be started early, thus improving the prognosis of these patients and reducing the time of hospitalization and complications associated with it. This report shows how an interdisciplinary approach is vital in such cases, as both the precipitant and the disease must be managed to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. It is crucial to evaluate the benefits and risks of withdrawing immunosuppressive treatment in post-transplant patients, and being able to recognize when restarting them is indicated.
