Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (Guillain-Barré Syndrome)
View through CrossRef
Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), also known as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), is a common acute neurological presentation encountered in both the outpatient setting and hospital wards. The hallmark of the disorder is the development of ascending motor paralysis with loss of deep tendon reflexes. In this chapter, we outline the classical clinical and laboratory findings in GBS as well as critical therapeutic and supportive measures along with prognosis.
