RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Guillain-Barré syndrome following COVID-19: a newly emerging post-infectious complication JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e236182 DO 10.1136/bcr-2020-236182 VO 13 IS 6 A1 Silas Webb A1 Victoria CJ Wallace A1 David Martin-Lopez A1 Mahinda Yogarajah YR 2020 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/13/6/e236182.abstract AB A 57-year-old man presented with a progressive flaccid symmetrical motor and sensory neuropathy following a 1-week history of cough and malaise. He was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome secondary to COVID-19 and started on intravenous immunoglobulin. He proceeded to have worsening respiratory function and needed intubation and mechanical ventilation. This is the first reported case of this rare neurological complication of COVID-19 in the UK, but it adds to a small but growing body of international evidence to suggest a significant association between these two conditions. Increasing appreciation of this by clinicians will ensure earlier diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients presenting with this.
