Abstract: This case study explores Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is classically thought of as a rapidly progressive acute polyneuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare and serious autoimmune disorder of peripheral nerves.

INTRODUCTION: This study comprises the gathering of data specifically to the patient’s wellbeing condition.

In autoimmune disorder body system mistakenly destroy the peripheral nerves and damages their myelin. This case study explores Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is classically thought of as a rapidly progressive acute polyneuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare and serious autoimmune disorder of peripheral nerves.

Rarely surgery or immunization can trigger Guillain-Barre syndrome. While GBS is the most common cause of acute paralysis, the exact pathogenesis is still unclear.

In GBS the nerves protective covering (myelin sheath) is damaged.

The initial symptoms are typically changing in sensation or pain along with muscle weakness, beginning in the feet and hands. The cases of GBS in a very few numbers which occur by Campylobacterjejuni (a relatively common gastrointestinal bacterial pathogen.

Undesirable autoimmunity does not arise in many people presented to a resistant boost because of Guillain-Barré disorder related contaminations, for example, C jejune.

In Guillain-Barre disorder, resistant framework which for the most part assaults just attacking invading organism starts attacking the nerves. All patients with Guillain-Barré disorder need to fastidious observing and supportive care.

Component includes an immune system issue in which the body’s framework erroneously damage the peripheral nerves and harms their myelin.

The underlying side effects are commonly changing in sensation or torment alongside muscle shortcoming, starting in the hands and feet.

While GBS is the most well known reason for intense loss of motion, the precise pathogenesis is as yet unclear.

It is a fast beginning muscle shortcoming brought about by the safe framework harming the peripheral sensory system.

Amid the intense stage, the turmoil can be dangerous, with creating shortcoming of the breathing muscles requiring mechanical ventilation.

In GBS the nerves defensive covering (myelin sheath) is damaged.

The cases of GBS in a very few numbers which occur by Campylobacterjejuni (a generally normal gastrointestinal bacterial pathogen). A patient with the diagnose of GBS due to Campylobacterjejuni( she had an episode of gastroenteritis with watery profuse diarrhea lasting some days.

But last 4 (before admission date) days patient stool not passed, her presenting complain were dysphagia, paraplegia, SOB, she was slurring her words, unable to articulate properly. Involvement of cranial nerve is seen in patient. Paresthesia’s by and large start in the toes and fingertips, advancing upward yet for the most part not stretching out past the wrists or lower legs.

Respiratory muscle shortcoming with shortness of breath was present) during clinically observed proximal muscles were included, Trunk, and respiratory muscles can be influenced also. Right ulnar and median nerves show delayed distal latency and both facial nerves show absent responses. What’s more, because of cranial nerve inclusion tolerant objection Facial hang (may imitate Bell paralysis), Diplopia’s, Dysphagia, Ophthalmoplegia and Pupillary unsettling influences. Patient is on conservative treatment that is Flagyl 500mg, Moxifloxacin 400mg, Solumedrol 1g, Dextrose saline 5% 1000ml, nebulization with Atrovent.

And according to NANDA some nursing diagnoses related to GBS include Insufficient breathing pattern, acute pain, disabled physical portability, nervousness or anxiety. Reflexes are missing or decreased from the get-go in the illness course and hypotonia is also observed with significant weakness.

Most variations of GBS are treated likewise with IVIG (intravenous immune globulin) or PE(plasma exchange).Intravenous immune globulin is an effective in Gullian berry syndrome disease.All patients with Guillain-Barré disorder need to fastidious observing and supportive care.

The related condition, is likewise treated with Plasma exchange and intravenous immune globulin be that as it may, in contrast to GBS, it additionally reacts to corticosteroids. Patient was extubated 14 days of ventilation and there was a gradual clinical improvement over 6 weeks.

The patient received intense physiotherapy during this time and her symptoms continued to resolve and was able to walk again, although with minor residual weakness remaining in lower limbs. She has good prognosis and is expected to make a full recovery within few months.
