Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome is the most common and most severe acute flaccid paralysis, usually preceded by an infection or immune stimulation. A literature review of the last five years in Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases was done. Data were collected from epidemiological studies using the keywords.  Guillain-Barrè syndrome (GBS) is an acute, severe, and fulminant polyradiculoneuropathy. It has ascending muscle weakness, rapid evolution, the involvement of respiratory muscles with an evolution period of up to four weeks. It has the Classic and Variant forms of clinical presentation. Guillain-Barrè Syndrome is a rapidly progressive disease. The diagnosis is clinical but requires exams such as electroneuromyography and cerebrospinal fluid analysis, so that treatment can be started as soon as possible to improve prognosis and increase survival of affected patients.
