Home | Gullian & Berry Syndrome
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. This autoimmune response leads to inflammation and damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering of the nerves, resulting in muscle weakness, numbness, and, in severe cases, paralysis. GBS typically begins with tingling and weakness in the extremities, which can rapidly progress to more severe symptoms, sometimes affecting breathing and requiring medical intervention.
