We described GBS symptoms in three infected patients with COVID-19.
The severity and fast progression of GBS linked to COVID-19 seems considerable in mentioned cases.
Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) type of GBS was diagnosed according to electrodiagnostic findings in all three cases.
GBS is suggested to be considered as a severe and rapid progressive profile in neurologic complications of COVID-19.
A 64-year-old man presented with asymmetric paresthesia and subsequent
weakness of his feet and a 10-kg weight loss over 40 days.
Electrodiagnostic studies revealed distal axonal sensory-motor
polyneuropathy with ongoing axonal loss. A peroneal nerve biopsy showed
intravascular proliferation of CD-20 positive lymphocytes, which
suggested intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
