| Popis: | Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy associated with numerous viral infections. Recently, there have been many case reports describing the association between coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and GBS [1]. In this report, we describe the symptoms of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) in one infected patient with COVID-19, for the first time. We reported a 67-years- old male patient with no pathological history, complaints of acute progressive symmetric ascending quadriparesis. Two weeks prior to hospitalization, the patient suffered from fever and cough. After hospitalization a thoracic CT scan showed 10-25% of consolidation and ground glass opacities. RT-PCR was reported positive for COVID-19 infection. Electrodiagnostic tests five days after neurological symptom onset showed a demyelinating pattern in accordance with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) criteria. |
