HM Swick and MP McQuillen The efficacy of steroids in the treatment of acute idiopathic polyneuritis (Guillain-Barre syndrome) continues to be uncertain. Since 1965, 38 patients with idiopathic polyneuritis have been at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, and 16 of them were entered in a prospective double blind study designed to assess the effectiveness of steroid therapy. Seriously ill patients were excluded from the study and most of them received steroids. In both the double-blind group and the entire group of

The drug is taken by mouth in tablet form. This medication is used to treat: This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Mercaptopurine belongs to a group of drugs known as antimetabolites. It resembles a normal cell nutrient needed by cancer cells to grow. The cancer cells take up mercaptopurine which then interferes with their growth. Mercaptopurine is also used to treat many types of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, acute idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, erythroid aplasia, or myelofibrosis; idiopathic hemolytic anemia; macroglobulinemia; idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura; idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis; multiple sclerosis; myasthenia gravis; uveitis; and ulcerative colitis. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition. Before taking mercaptopurine

Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Superficial anterior muscles Definition: Guillain-Barre syndrome is a disorder caused by nerve inflammation involving progressive muscle weakness or paralysis , which often follows an infectious illness. Alternative Names: Landry-Guillain-Barre syndrome; Acute idiopathic polyneuritis; Infectious polyneuritis; Acute inflammatory polyneuropathy Causes And Risk: Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute type of nerve inflammation. The inflammation damages portions of the nerve cell, resulting in muscle weakness or paralysis and sensory loss. The damage usually includes loss of the myelin sheath of the nerve (demyelination ), which slows the conduction of impulses through the nerve. The damage can also cause denervation (kill the axon part of the nerve cell), which stops nerve function entirely. Without the axon, messages cannot be transferred from one nerve cell to another.

Extractions: GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME ( Infectious polyneuropathy, Acute Idiopathic polyneuritis). Common Name: Description: Guillain-Barre syndrome is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system that produces rapidly worsening muscle weakness, sometimes leading to paralysis. Causes generalized and symmetrical weakness involving muscles at the extremities and on the trunk, as well as sensory symptoms. Weakness appears either rapidly or over 1-2 weeks, and can produce failure of breathing muscles over several days. It is a rare illness. Incidence 1 per million per month. Most common between age of 30-50. Both sexes equally affected. Causes: Exact cause unknown, but all available evidence point to an auto-immune disorder. The body's immune system attacks the myelin sheath (layers of insulation around the nerve fibers). Myelin sheath permits electrical impulses to be conducted along the nerve fibers with speed and accuracy. When myelin is damaged, nerves do not conduct impulses properly. In about 80% of the people, symptoms begin about 5 days to 3 weeks after a mild infection, surgery or immunization.

Fu nel 1856 che il medico francese Jean Landry descrisse per primo una malattia, in seguito denominata "paralisi ascendente di Landry", ma fu solo negli anni 1914-1918 che tre giovani medici francesi, specializzandi in neurologia (Georges Charles Guillain, Jean-Alexandre Barré e André Strohl), ebbero modo di esaminare due soldati paralizzati e di condurre accertamenti sulle caratteristiche del liquido presente attorno al cervello e all'interno della spina dorsale, cercando di trovare cause e rimedi per quella strana, inusuale e apparentemente inspiegabile patologia [www.gbs.org.uk/whowere.html

Extractions: Introduction (Cull and Will, 1995, p. 1106; Ropper, Wijdicks and Truax, 1991, p. xix). Munsat and Barnes, in Ropper, Wijdicks and Truax, 1991, stated "·the Guillain-Barré Syndrome is easy to diagnose but impossible to define." Most recently, Asbury and Cornblath, cited in Hughes, 1995, have redefined the diagnostic boundaries for Guillain-Barré Syndrome, but again note the disease defies strict definition.
