This is the most common aquired demyelinating disease. This disease is characterized by the inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves. The incidence of Guillain-Barre syndrome is one in 100,000. The life time risk for any one individual getting Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is 1/1000. All age group may affected by GBS. Both sexes are equally affected. The disease is characterized by weakness of limbs and numbness and tingling sensation over the limbs, body and the face. Mild cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome may present only with ataxia (difficulty in walking and balancing), whereas severe cases may present with difficulty in respiration due to paralysis the respiratory muscles and cranial nerves. What causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome? The actual cause for Guillain-Barre syndrome is still not known. It may be an autoimmune disease; in which antibodies are directed against the peripheral myelin (myelin is the sheath covering of the peripheral nerves and is responsible for faster conduction of nerve signals).

Severe weakness and numbness in your legs and arms characterize GBS. Loss of feeling and movement (paralysis) may occur in your legs, arms, upper body and face. GBS affects an estimated one to three in every 100,000 persons annually in the United States. It can strike any race at any age, but its incidence increases with age. GBS may occur within days or weeks after a viral infection such as influenza (flu) or diarrhea. It may be triggered by pregnancy or a medical procedure, such as a vaccination or minor surgery, or have no evident reason for developing. Because the cause of GBS is unknown, there's no way to prevent the disease from occurring.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the four-term president who directed his sweeping social policies from his wheelchair, may not have been struck by polio but instead by Guillain-Barre syndrome, researchers said Friday. The symptoms of Roosevelt's illness, which first became apparent in 1921, more closely resembled those of Guillain-Barre, also known as acute ascending polyneuritis, a team at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston said. It is believed to be an autoimmune disease one in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It occurs after a mild infection, surgery or, rarely, after an immunization. Either way, the diagnosis made no difference for Roosevelt there were no good treatments for either disease in 1921. He was president from 1933 until he died in 1945 of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Verified by FDA Office of Orphan Products Development May 2005 Sponsored by: FDA Office of Orphan Products Development Information provided by: FDA Office of Orphan Products Development ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose In developed countries, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis, afflicting about 5,000 persons annually in the United States. Over 20% of GBS patients have permanent residual motor deficits that affect their activities of daily living. The goal of this study is to assess the potential usefulness and safety of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) in those patients who suffer chronic functional deficits from GBS.This medication is a potassium channel blocker that has the potential to improve nerve conduction, particularly across partially demyelinated axons. It is felt that by increasing nerve conduction there will be improved motor performance for walking and activities of daily living, as well as decreased fatiguability. This medication has demonstrated potential usefulness in central demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.Because the peripheral nervous system is much more accessible to systemic medication delivery it is felt that this medication may improve the functional status of those patients who are suffering from the residual side effects of this medication.

Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Guillain-Barre Syndrome What is Guillain-Barre Syndrome? Guillain-Barre Syndrome is the name given to a rare acute illness of progressive muscle weakness and respiratory paralysis associated with absent reflexes, which develops over a period of three to four weeks, usually following a viral or other infection. Who gets Guillain-Barre Syndrome? Anyone can get Guillain-Barre Syndrome, but it is more common in men and in older individuals, most frequently in those 50 to 74 years of age. How is Guillain-Barre Syndrome spread? Guillain-Barre Syndrome is not spread from person to person, and it is not clearly understood what causes the illness. In about 50 to 60% of cases, there is a recent history of viral or other infection. What are the symptoms of Guillain-Barre Syndrome? Symptoms vary greatly in severity from so mild that medical attention is not sought, to severe causing almost total paralysis, which may include respiratory failure. The common initial symptoms are numbness and tingling in the legs. Back pain is a major symptom in about one third of patients. The sensory symptoms are soon followed by ascending weakness in the legs and arms. Other nerves, such as those controlling the eyes, are affected in over half the cases. Reflexes are usually absent or greatly reduced. Progression of the symptoms may continue for up to four weeks. Recovery is often slow, lasting 6 months to two years. Up to 90% of patients reach nearly complete recovery.

Diagnoses : Guillain-Barre Syndrome E-mail this page Print this page GBS can affect children of all ages and social classes and affects both males and females. The incidence is 0.8 out of 100,000 children younger than 17 years of age. GBS is rarely diagnosed in children younger than 6 months of age. Approximately 75 to 90 percent of the children diagnosed with GBS experience a full recovery with no further complications. Recovery often begins within a few weeks after the onset of symptoms. Decreased feeling or pain in fingers and toes. Leg weakness or pain progressing to the arms. Problems walking. Irritability. Breathing problems. Facial weakness. Your child may experience muscle weakness over a period of one to two weeks. The full extent of the weakness can last up to one to two months with an anticipated full recovery at least one to two years after diagnosis. The diagnosis of GBS is made after the sudden onset of specific symptoms and after diagnostic testing. During a physical examination, your child's physician will obtain a complete medical history of your child, and may also ask if there is a family history of any medical problems. Blood tests Urine tests Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) - a special needle is placed into the lower back, into the spinal canal. This is the area around the spinal cord. The pressure in the spinal canal and brain can then be measured. A small amount of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) can be removed and sent for testing to determine if there is an infection or other problems. CSF is the fluid that bathes your child's brain and spinal cord.
