ABSTRACT
Guillain Barre Syndrome is characterized by the emergence of distal,
relatively symmetrical paraesthesia. It occurs when the body's
defensive mechanisms mistakenly assault parts of the neurological
system. It is classified into subtypes as Acute inflammatory
demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP),Acute motor axonal
neuropathy (AMAN),Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy
(AMSAN),Pharyngeal–cervical brachial variant, and Miller Fisher
syndrome.GBS can be caused by a variety of infections such as
Campylobacter jejuni infection, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus,
and Human Immunodeficiency virus. It mainly causes the motor,
sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. In the diagnosis of GBS, a
lumbar puncture is an important diagnostic tool.Anti-GD1a is linked
to the GBS subtype AMAN. Miller-Fisher syndrome is linked to anti-
GQ1b.Its treatment includes, Plasma exchange, Immunoglobulin, and
corticosteroids. As it is incurable, supportive care and respiratory
support is recommended.

INTRODUCTION:
Guillain-Barré syndrome or GBS is a demyelinating
polyneuropathy that was first identified in 1859.
Ascending motor weakness, sensory and autonomic
dysfunction are common symptoms, which are often
followed by prodromal disease. Campylobacter
jejuni, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Mycoplasma
pneumoniae, Epstein-Barr virus, and influenza virus
have all been found as antecedent infections. GBS has
also been linked to vaccination and parturition. GBS
is characterized by the emergence of distal, relatively
symmetrical paraesthesia. Progressive limb
weakening occurs in conjunction with or shortly after
sensory difficulties. Patients are usually able to
determine a specific day when sensory and motor
abnormalities commenced. In half of the patients,
pain is a significant factor.(1). GBS occurs when the
body's defensive mechanisms mistakenly assault parts
of the neurological system. The myelin coating
around the nerve may be damaged as a result of an
autoimmune reaction. This causes nerve
inflammation, which causes a conduction block.
Severe cases induce subsequent axonal degeneration,
which causes muscle weakness or paralysis, among
other symptoms. The hallmark is acute paralysis with
loss of tendon reflexes that develops over days or
weeks. The most common symptoms are ascending
paralysis weakness that starts in the feet and hands
and progresses to the trunk. Some subtypes produce
changes in sensation or discomfort, as well as
autonomic nervous system malfunction. An infection
is frequently the cause of the condition. It is the most
prevalent cause of paralysis that is not caused by
trauma. It has the potential to cause life-threatening
complications in some people. (4) This potentially
fatal illness is quite uncommon, affecting about one
or two people per 100,000 worldwide, with slightly
more males affected than females. All age groups are
susceptible; the rate of occurrence increases with age,
with a slight peak among young people. Although
there is no cure for the condition, there are numerous
therapies that can help to alleviate symptoms and
shorten the length of the illness. (2)

ETIOLOGY:
GBS can be caused by a variety of infections. Campylobacter jejuni infection, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr
virus, and human immunodeficiency virus are all commonly implicated infections (HIV). Immunization
(influenza, meningococcal, etc.), Systemic lupus erythematosus, Hodgkin disease, Mycoplasma pneumonia,
surgery, trauma, and bone marrow transplantation are all potential triggers. (4)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:
Conduction block is the cause of flaccid paralysis and sensory disturbance in GBS patients with demyelinating
types. This result, which may be verified electrophysiologically, suggests that the axonal link is still intact.
Hence remyelination develops, recovery can occur quickly. Secondary axonal degeneration is common in severe
cases of demyelinating GBS. Secondary axonal degeneration is linked to a delayed recovery time and a higher
level of residual impairment. When an electrophysiologically detected primary axonal pattern is found, it means

that axons have deteriorated and been severed from their targets, notably the neuromuscular junction, and that
they must regenerate in order to recover. The damage is assumed to be confined in motor axonal cases where
recovery is quick. (4)
➢ Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) - Macrophages infiltrate myelin sheaths that are
still intact and weaken the axons. (5)
➢ Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN)-Macrophages infiltrate the Ranvier nodes, inserting between the
axon and the surrounding Schwann-cell axolemma while leaving the myelin sheath intact. (5)
➢ Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) - The ventral and dorsal roots are involved, similar to
AMAN. (5)
➢ Miller Fisher syndrome - Although there has been few pathological research on MFS, nerve root
demyelination has been demonstrated. a significant distinction between MFS and AIDP or acute Anti-GQ1b
activation causes motor axonal neuropathy. Anti-GT1a antibodies in MFS that attack oculomotor neuron and
bulbar nerves, which are nerves that are supposed to be connected to the brain.GQ1b and GT1a ganglioside
levels are relatively high densities (1)

ADH secretion) or renal failure. In 33 percent of
individuals, ALT and gamma GT levels may be
elevated. Creatine kinase levels may be elevated. (1)
INFLAMMATORY MARKERS
The rate of erythrocyte sedimentation is frequently
increased, and C-reactive protein is occasionally high.
(1)
ANTI-GANGLIOSIDE ANTIBODIES
Anti-GM1 antibodies are seen in 25% of patients and
are linked to a worse prognosis. Anti-GD1a is linked
to the GBS subtype AMAN. Miller-Fisher syndrome
is linked to anti-GQ1b. (1)
LUMBAR PUNCTURE
Protein level in the cerebrospinal fluid is increased. In
the diagnosis of GBS, a lumbar puncture is an
important diagnostic tool. The WBC count in the CSF
fluid is generally normal, and the protein level is
raised, while the protein level may be normal at first,
then rise to a peak in 4 to 6 weeks. (5)
NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY AND
ELECTROMYOGRAM
They're usually referred to as EMG/NCV studies
because they're done in conjunction with
electromyogram. The speed at which signals travel
along nerves is measured by NCV. The
electromyogram (EMG) measures muscle activity and
can show loss of reflexes, which is a disease symptom
of delaying nerve responses. Reduced motor nerve
conduction velocities or block, longer distal latencies,
and an aberrant F response are all common electro-
diagnostic findings. (5)
RESPIRATORY FUNCTION TEST
Reduced vital capacity, as well as maximal
inspiratory and expiratory pressures, may be seen.
Arterial blood gases may suggest that respiratory
failure is developing. (1)

TREATMENT:
The mainstay of treatment of Guillain Barré
syndrome remains good intensive care, with
respiratory support.(10)
PLASMA EXCHANGE
Brettle et al. were the first to report on the better
outcome of a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome
after plasma exchange in 1978. 99 Large multicentre
trials were then used to prove the efficacy of plasma
exchange. Plasma exchange started within the first
two weeks of the disease, which cut down on hospital
stays, mechanical ventilation time, and time to
ambulation. (7)Neurotoxic antibodies, complement
factors, and other humoral mediators of inflammation
are hypothesized to be removed through plasma
exchange. Plasma exchange is effective when
administered within the first four weeks after the
onset of weakness in patients who are unable to walk
alone (GBS Disability Scale score 3), but the most
significant impact is shown when treatment begins
within the first two weeks. Typically, a plasma
exchange regimen consists of five sessions spread out
over two weeks and requiring approximately five
plasma volumes. Two plasma exchange sessions, on
the other hand, resulted in a faster commencement of
motor recovery in mildly afflicted individuals (still
able to walk). (8) Plasma exchange is a procedure that
includes withdrawing 3–6 litres of plasma over many
hours and replacing it with albumin or, in some
situations, fresh frozen plasma, at specialized centres.
It's critical to keep track of your blood pressure,
pulse, and fluid intake and output during plasma
exchange. (9)
SIDE EFFECTS:
➢ Hypotension,
➢ Septicaemia,
➢ Hypocalcaemia, and
➢ Irregular coagulation (7)
INTRAVENOUS IMMUNOGLOBULIN
Several immunologically mediated illnesses are
treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. It is
thought to work through a variety of mechanisms,
including anti-idiotypic autoantibody suppression. (7)
Immunoglobulins are a plasma-derived medication
International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD49745 | Volume – 6 | Issue – 3 | Mar-Apr 2022 Page 1424
that was first used to treat individuals with antibody
deficiency as a replacement therapy. (15) Intravenous
immunoglobulin therapy provides patients with large
doses of antibodies derived from plasma from a range
of donors. Individuals with Guillain-Barré syndrome
may benefit from intravenous immunoglobulin
because it prevents antibodies from harming nerve
insulation or nerves. (11)
MECHANISM OF ACTION
IVIg influences B and T lymphocyte activation and
effector functions, neutralizes pathogenic
autoantibodies, impairs antigen present, and has a
significant anti-inflammatory effect that's
intermediated byrelations with the complement
system, cytokines, and endothelial cells. (12)T-cell
proliferation and cytokine production are suppressed
by intravenous immunoglobulin after mitogenic and
allogenic stimulation in vitro. The mechanisms
causing the inhibitory action are unknown, however
they may involve various pathways. (13)
DOSE: IVIg 400mg/kg/day for 5 days at a time (14)
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
➢ Selective IgA deficiency
➢ Anaphylaxis following previous intravenous
immunoglobulin infusion
➢ Severe congestive cardiac failure
➢ Insufficiency of kidney (7)
SIDE EFFECTS:
COMMON:
➢ Flushing,
➢ Headache,
➢ Malaise,
➢ Fever,
➢ Chills,
➢ Fatigue
➢ Lethargy
RARE:
➢ Renal impairment,
➢ Thrombosis,
➢ Arrhythmia,
➢ Aseptic meningitis,
➢ Haemolyticanaemia, and
➢ Transfusion-related acute lung injury(16)
CORTICOSTEROIDS
A pilot trial found that a five-day combination of
intravenous methylprednisolone (0.5 g/d) and
intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg bodyweight/d)
was more effective than intravenous immunoglobulin
alone. (6) The use of steroids in the treatment of acute
GBS has been studied in six trials. (17)
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Corticosteroids are thought to diminish inflammation,
hence reducing nerve damage in inflammatory
neuropathy. In a rat model of GBS, experimental
autoimmune neuritis, corticosteroids have been
proven to speed healing, but only when given in high
dosages. (18)
DOSE: Methylprednisolone -0.5 g/day (6)
SIDE EFFECTS:
➢ Glaucoma,
➢ Depression,
➢ Hypertension
➢ Myopathy
➢ Osteonecrosis
➢ Ecchymosis,
➢ Mild hirsutism,
➢ Perioral dermatitis(19)
CONTRAINDICATION:
Systemic
➢ Systemic fungal infections
➢ Intrathecal administration
➢ Cerebral malaria
➢ Live attenuated virus vaccination
➢ Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Topical
➢ Dermatological: Bacterial, viral, or fungal
infection
➢ Ophthalmic: Acute untreated purulent ocular
infections, fungal or mycobacterial ocular
infections, viral conjunctivitis, or keratitis (19)
SUPPORTIVE CARE:
The need of bowel and bladder care, sufficient
nutrition, monitoring for respiratory failure and
giving ventilator assistance, if necessary, heart
monitoring, and physiotherapy cannot be overstated.
(4) Dysautonomia Management: Acute dysautonomia
is a leading cause of mortality in GBS patients. In the
majority of GBS patients, cardiac and hemodynamic
disturbances appear as hypertension, postural
hypotension, and tachycardia. (20,21)
Antihypertensives with short half-lives should be
investigated (Labetalol, Esmolol, or nitroprusside
infusions). Furthermore, medicines used to treat
dysautonomia may exacerbate the condition
(glycopyrrolate for increased secretions, neostigmine
for ileus, and b blockers for tachycardia). (22)
Deep vein thrombosis Prevention: If you've been
confined to your bed for a long period. To avoid deep
vein thrombosis, all patients should be administered
subcutaneous fractionated or unfractionated heparin

and support stockings until they are able to walk
freely. If you expect to be bedridden for an extended
amount of time and have previously had a
tracheostomy, start taking warfarin or coumadin as an
oral anticoagulant. (23)
Management of respiratory failure:GBS is the most
frequent peripheral neuropathy that causes respiratory
paralysis, and it is the most prevalent cause of
respiratory failure. One-third of the patients will
require mechanical ventilation. (23) Percutaneous
dilatational tracheostomy may be preferable to regular
tracheostomy because it reduces the danger of
inadvertent extubation and provides a more attractive
appearance. Weaning off of ventilatory assistance
usually takes 2–6 weeks. (24)
Nutrition: Early and gradual introduction of
nasogastric or gastric tube feeding is recommended.
To decrease muscle wasting and aid respiratory
weaning, a high-energy (40–45 non-protein kcal) and
high-protein (2–2.5 g/kg) meal has been advised. In
these individuals, continuous enteral feeding appears
to be more tolerated than bolus feeding. (24)
Psychological: Patients with GBS have a significant
prevalence of depression. It is critical that the patient
and their family have access to support groups if they
are accessible. Counselling and mental assistance
should also be offered if necessary. (25)
Rehabilitation: Appropriate pain medication and a
comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, as well as
patient education, are critical during the gradual but
steady recovery, with benefits expected for up to two
years. (26)
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT
Medicines to treat nerve damage: Drugs that cure
nerve injury include, YograjGuggulu,
KaisoreGuggulu, TrayodasangaGuggulu,
PanchtiktagritaGuggulu, MahavatVidhwansanRasa,
VataGajankusha Rasa, LashunadiVati,
ChitrakadiVati, HinguvadiVati, KupiluhinguvadiVati,
Kapikacchu. (27)
Herbal medicine: Yastimadhu, Manjistha,
Mandukaparni, Nirgundi, and Dashamula are all
effective in the treatment of this illness.
Punarnavamandura, Tapyadilauha, Guduchi,
Amalaki, and Mustaka are all medicines that work on
the Majja dhatu of the body and are particularly
successful in treating this illness. In addition, for the
treatment of GBS, localised Panchakarma therapy can
be performed.
Only medicated steam fomentation is recommended
during the acute period, which lasts 3 to 6 weeks.
After this time, the body is massaged with medicinal
oils, followed by medicated steam fomentation.
Mahanarayana oil, Mahahamasa oil, Mahasaindhava
oil, DashamulaKvathandNirgundiKwath are some of
the medicines used in these operations. To address
immunological dysfunction in the body,
Ashwagandha, Yastimadhu, Tulasi, and Bhringaraja
are taken. To offset the mental pressures, assurance
treatment is often recommended. (28)
THE FUTURE
Eculizumab is going to begin a new randomised
placebo-controlled study in individuals with early
GBS who are unable to walk. Antiganglio side
antibodies cause complement-dependent destruction
at the nodes of Ranvier, nerve terminals, and
presynaptic Schwann cells, according to results in an
animal model of GBS. Many more studies are being
anxiously awaited, such as those looking into pain
therapy, nerve regeneration, and other variables that
may enhance the prognosis of GBS patients. (29)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
Nothing to disclose.
CONCLUSION:
Guillain Barre Syndrome is a type of autoimmune
disease in which symptoms increase the chance of
major long-term consequences considerably.
Historically, corticosteroids have been used to treat
inflammation associated with Guillain-Barré
syndrome. They're no longer in use. There is no
evidence that they promote healing or impact long-
term prognosis. More research is needed to identify
potential molecular intervention targets, create novel
diagnostics, and develop effective and cost-efficient
therapeutics.

Guillain Barre Syndrome A Review

  • 1. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) Volume 6 Issue 3, March-April 2022 Available Online: www.ijtsrd.com e-ISSN: 2456 – 6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD49745 | Volume – 6 | Issue – 3 | Mar-Apr 2022 Page 1420 Guillain Barre Syndrome - A Review Preethi T, Jayaprakash U, Deborah Rose, K C Arul Prakasam Department of Pharmacy Practice, Annai JKK Sampoorani Ammal College of Pharmacy, Komarapalayam, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Guillain Barre Syndrome is characterized by the emergence of distal, relatively symmetrical paraesthesia. It occurs when the body's defensive mechanisms mistakenly assault parts of the neurological system. It is classified into subtypes as Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP),Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN),Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN),Pharyngeal–cervical brachial variant, and Miller Fisher syndrome.GBS can be caused by a variety of infections such as Campylobacter jejuni infection, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and Human Immunodeficiency virus. It mainly causes the motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. In the diagnosis of GBS, a lumbar puncture is an important diagnostic tool.Anti-GD1a is linked to the GBS subtype AMAN. Miller-Fisher syndrome is linked to anti- GQ1b.Its treatment includes, Plasma exchange, Immunoglobulin, and corticosteroids. As it is incurable, supportive care and respiratory support is recommended.

This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0) (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0) INTRODUCTION: Guillain-Barré syndrome or GBS is a demyelinating polyneuropathy that was first identified in 1859. Ascending motor weakness, sensory and autonomic dysfunction are common symptoms, which are often followed by prodromal disease. Campylobacter jejuni, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Epstein-Barr virus, and influenza virus have all been found as antecedent infections. GBS has also been linked to vaccination and parturition. GBS is characterized by the emergence of distal, relatively symmetrical paraesthesia. Progressive limb weakening occurs in conjunction with or shortly after sensory difficulties. Patients are usually able to determine a specific day when sensory and motor abnormalities commenced. In half of the patients, pain is a significant factor.(1). GBS occurs when the body's defensive mechanisms mistakenly assault parts of the neurological system. The myelin coating around the nerve may be damaged as a result of an autoimmune reaction. This causes nerve inflammation, which causes a conduction block. Severe cases induce subsequent axonal degeneration, which causes muscle weakness or paralysis, among other symptoms. The hallmark is acute paralysis with loss of tendon reflexes that develops over days or weeks. The most common symptoms are ascending paralysis weakness that starts in the feet and hands and progresses to the trunk. Some subtypes produce changes in sensation or discomfort, as well as autonomic nervous system malfunction. An infection is frequently the cause of the condition. It is the most prevalent cause of paralysis that is not caused by trauma. It has the potential to cause life-threatening complications in some people. (4) This potentially fatal illness is quite uncommon, affecting about one or two people per 100,000 worldwide, with slightly more males affected than females. All age groups are susceptible; the rate of occurrence increases with age, with a slight peak among young people. Although there is no cure for the condition, there are numerous therapies that can help to alleviate symptoms and shorten the length of the illness. (2) IJTSRD49745

Campylobacter jejuni infection, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and human immunodeficiency virus are all commonly implicated infections (HIV). Immunization (influenza, meningococcal, etc.), Systemic lupus erythematosus, Hodgkin disease, Mycoplasma pneumonia, surgery, trauma, and bone marrow transplantation are all potential triggers. (4) PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: Conduction block is the cause of flaccid paralysis and sensory disturbance in GBS patients with demyelinating types. This result, which may be verified electrophysiologically, suggests that the axonal link is still intact. Hence remyelination develops, recovery can occur quickly. Secondary axonal degeneration is common in severe cases of demyelinating GBS. Secondary axonal degeneration is linked to a delayed recovery time and a higher level of residual impairment. When an electrophysiologically detected primary axonal pattern is found, it means

The damage is assumed to be confined in motor axonal cases where recovery is quick. (4) ➢ Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) - Macrophages infiltrate myelin sheaths that are still intact and weaken the axons.

In 33 percent of individuals, ALT and gamma GT levels may be elevated. Creatine kinase levels may be elevated. (1) INFLAMMATORY MARKERS The rate of erythrocyte sedimentation is frequently increased, and C-reactive protein is occasionally high. (1) ANTI-GANGLIOSIDE ANTIBODIES Anti-GM1 antibodies are seen in 25% of patients and are linked to a worse prognosis. Anti-GD1a is linked to the GBS subtype AMAN. Miller-Fisher syndrome is linked to anti-GQ1b. (1) LUMBAR PUNCTURE Protein level in the cerebrospinal fluid is increased. In the diagnosis of GBS, a lumbar puncture is an important diagnostic tool. The WBC count in the CSF fluid is generally normal, and the protein level is raised, while the protein level may be normal at first, then rise to a peak in 4 to 6 weeks. (5) NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY AND ELECTROMYOGRAM They're usually referred to as EMG/NCV studies because they're done in conjunction with electromyogram. The speed at which signals travel along nerves is measured by NCV. The electromyogram (EMG) measures muscle activity and can show loss of reflexes, which is a disease symptom of delaying nerve responses. Reduced motor nerve conduction velocities or block, longer distal latencies, and an aberrant F response are all common electro- diagnostic findings. (5) RESPIRATORY FUNCTION TEST Reduced vital capacity, as well as maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, may be seen. Arterial blood gases may suggest that respiratory failure is developing. (1) DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Neurological ➢ Myasthenia gravis ➢ Eaton-Lambert (myasthenic) syndrome ➢ Multiple sclerosis ➢ Transverse myelitis Metabolic ➢ Hypokalaemic periodic paralysis ➢ Hypermagnesaemia ➢ Hypophosphataemia ➢ Acute intermittent porphyria Infective ➢ Post diphtheria neuropathy ➢ Polio ➢ Botulism ➢ Tick paralysis Drugs / toxins ➢ Heavy metal poisoning (e.g. lead) ➢ Toxic biological substances (including snake and scorpion toxins) ➢ Drugs (including stavudine, nitrofurantoin and aminoglycosides) Others ➢ Acute polymyositis ➢ Critical illness myopathy(1) TREATMENT: The mainstay of treatment of Guillain Barré syndrome remains good intensive care, with respiratory support.(10) PLASMA EXCHANGE Brettle et al. were the first to report on the better outcome of a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome after plasma exchange in 1978. 99 Large multicentre trials were then used to prove the efficacy of plasma exchange. Plasma exchange started within the first two weeks of the disease, which cut down on hospital stays, mechanical ventilation time, and time to ambulation. (7)Neurotoxic antibodies, complement factors, and other humoral mediators of inflammation are hypothesized to be removed through plasma exchange. Plasma exchange is effective when administered within the first four weeks after the onset of weakness in patients who are unable to walk alone (GBS Disability Scale score 3), but the most significant impact is shown when treatment begins within the first two weeks. Typically, a plasma exchange regimen consists of five sessions spread out over two weeks and requiring approximately five plasma volumes. Two plasma exchange sessions, on the other hand, resulted in a faster commencement of motor recovery in mildly afflicted individuals (still able to walk). (8) Plasma exchange is a procedure that includes withdrawing 3–6 litres of plasma over many hours and replacing it with albumin or, in some situations, fresh frozen plasma, at specialized centres. It's critical to keep track of your blood pressure, pulse, and fluid intake and output during plasma exchange. (9) SIDE EFFECTS: ➢ Hypotension, ➢ Septicaemia, ➢ Hypocalcaemia, and ➢ Irregular coagulation (7) INTRAVENOUS IMMUNOGLOBULIN Several immunologically mediated illnesses are treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. It is thought to work through a variety of mechanisms, including anti-idiotypic autoantibody suppression. (7) Immunoglobulins are a plasma-derived medication

(15) Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy provides patients with large doses of antibodies derived from plasma from a range of donors. Individuals with Guillain-Barré syndrome may benefit from intravenous immunoglobulin because it prevents antibodies from harming nerve insulation or nerves. (11) MECHANISM OF ACTION IVIg influences B and T lymphocyte activation and effector functions, neutralizes pathogenic autoantibodies, impairs antigen present, and has a significant anti-inflammatory effect that's intermediated byrelations with the complement system, cytokines, and endothelial cells. (12)T-cell proliferation and cytokine production are suppressed by intravenous immunoglobulin after mitogenic and allogenic stimulation in vitro. The mechanisms causing the inhibitory action are unknown, however they may involve various pathways. (13) DOSE: IVIg 400mg/kg/day for 5 days at a time (14) CONTRAINDICATIONS: ➢ Selective IgA deficiency ➢ Anaphylaxis following previous intravenous immunoglobulin infusion ➢ Severe congestive cardiac failure ➢ Insufficiency of kidney (7) SIDE EFFECTS: COMMON: ➢ Flushing, ➢ Headache, ➢ Malaise, ➢ Fever, ➢ Chills, ➢ Fatigue ➢ Lethargy RARE: ➢ Renal impairment, ➢ Thrombosis, ➢ Arrhythmia, ➢ Aseptic meningitis, ➢ Haemolyticanaemia, and ➢ Transfusion-related acute lung injury(16) CORTICOSTEROIDS A pilot trial found that a five-day combination of intravenous methylprednisolone (0.5 g/d) and intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg bodyweight/d) was more effective than intravenous immunoglobulin alone. (6) The use of steroids in the treatment of acute GBS has been studied in six trials. (17) MECHANISM OF ACTION: Corticosteroids are thought to diminish inflammation, hence reducing nerve damage in inflammatory neuropathy. In a rat model of GBS, experimental autoimmune neuritis, corticosteroids have been proven to speed healing, but only when given in high dosages. (18) DOSE: Methylprednisolone -0.5 g/day (6) SIDE EFFECTS: ➢ Glaucoma, ➢ Depression, ➢ Hypertension ➢ Myopathy ➢ Osteonecrosis ➢ Ecchymosis, ➢ Mild hirsutism, ➢ Perioral dermatitis(19) CONTRAINDICATION: Systemic ➢ Systemic fungal infections ➢ Intrathecal administration ➢ Cerebral malaria ➢ Live attenuated virus vaccination ➢ Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Topical ➢ Dermatological: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infection ➢ Ophthalmic: Acute untreated purulent ocular infections, fungal or mycobacterial ocular infections, viral conjunctivitis, or keratitis (19) SUPPORTIVE CARE: The need of bowel and bladder care, sufficient nutrition, monitoring for respiratory failure and giving ventilator assistance, if necessary, heart monitoring, and physiotherapy cannot be overstated. (4) Dysautonomia Management: Acute dysautonomia is a leading cause of mortality in GBS patients. In the majority of GBS patients, cardiac and hemodynamic disturbances appear as hypertension, postural hypotension, and tachycardia. (20,21) Antihypertensives with short half-lives should be investigated (Labetalol, Esmolol, or nitroprusside infusions). Furthermore, medicines used to treat dysautonomia may exacerbate the condition (glycopyrrolate for increased secretions, neostigmine for ileus, and b blockers for tachycardia). (22) Deep vein thrombosis Prevention: If you've been confined to your bed for a long period. To avoid deep vein thrombosis, all patients should be administered subcutaneous fractionated or unfractionated heparin

If you expect to be bedridden for an extended amount of time and have previously had a tracheostomy, start taking warfarin or coumadin as an oral anticoagulant. (23) Management of respiratory failure:GBS is the most frequent peripheral neuropathy that causes respiratory paralysis, and it is the most prevalent cause of respiratory failure. One-third of the patients will require mechanical ventilation. (23) Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy may be preferable to regular tracheostomy because it reduces the danger of inadvertent extubation and provides a more attractive appearance. Weaning off of ventilatory assistance usually takes 2–6 weeks. (24) Nutrition: Early and gradual introduction of nasogastric or gastric tube feeding is recommended. To decrease muscle wasting and aid respiratory weaning, a high-energy (40–45 non-protein kcal) and high-protein (2–2.5 g/kg) meal has been advised. In these individuals, continuous enteral feeding appears to be more tolerated than bolus feeding. (24) Psychological: Patients with GBS have a significant prevalence of depression. It is critical that the patient and their family have access to support groups if they are accessible. Counselling and mental assistance should also be offered if necessary. (25) Rehabilitation: Appropriate pain medication and a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, as well as patient education, are critical during the gradual but steady recovery, with benefits expected for up to two years. (26) AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT Medicines to treat nerve damage: Drugs that cure nerve injury include, YograjGuggulu, KaisoreGuggulu, TrayodasangaGuggulu, PanchtiktagritaGuggulu, MahavatVidhwansanRasa, VataGajankusha Rasa, LashunadiVati, ChitrakadiVati, HinguvadiVati, KupiluhinguvadiVati, Kapikacchu. (27) Herbal medicine: Yastimadhu, Manjistha, Mandukaparni, Nirgundi, and Dashamula are all effective in the treatment of this illness. Punarnavamandura, Tapyadilauha, Guduchi, Amalaki, and Mustaka are all medicines that work on the Majja dhatu of the body and are particularly successful in treating this illness. In addition, for the treatment of GBS, localised Panchakarma therapy can be performed. Only medicated steam fomentation is recommended during the acute period, which lasts 3 to 6 weeks. After this time, the body is massaged with medicinal oils, followed by medicated steam fomentation. Mahanarayana oil, Mahahamasa oil, Mahasaindhava oil, DashamulaKvathandNirgundiKwath are some of the medicines used in these operations. To address immunological dysfunction in the body, Ashwagandha, Yastimadhu, Tulasi, and Bhringaraja are taken. To offset the mental pressures, assurance treatment is often recommended. (28) THE FUTURE Eculizumab is going to begin a new randomised placebo-controlled study in individuals with early GBS who are unable to walk. Antiganglio side antibodies cause complement-dependent destruction at the nodes of Ranvier, nerve terminals, and presynaptic Schwann cells, according to results in an animal model of GBS. Many more studies are being anxiously awaited, such as those looking into pain therapy, nerve regeneration, and other variables that may enhance the prognosis of GBS patients. (29) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Nothing to disclose. CONCLUSION: Guillain Barre Syndrome is a type of autoimmune disease in which symptoms increase the chance of major long-term consequences considerably. Historically, corticosteroids have been used to treat inflammation associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome. They're no longer in use. There is no evidence that they promote healing or impact long- term prognosis. More research is needed to identify potential molecular intervention targets, create novel diagnostics, and develop effective and cost-efficient therapeutics.
