A Clinical Picture of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Children in the United States

Abstract: The authors describe the demographics, clinical presentation, investigation, treatment, and outcomes of pediatric patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome. They identified 35 pediatric patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome presenting to a tertiary academic center over a 20-year period. The most common presenting symptoms were paresthesias (54%), weakness (49%), and myalgias (49%). Sensation was affected in 54% of patients, and hyporeflexia or areflexia was present in 94% of patients. Cranial nerve dysfunction (46… Show more

“…There may be several reasons for these discrepancies. GBS is more difficult to diagnose in younger age groups, especially in pediatric patients, and varying rates in some study areas may reflect diagnostic uncertainty and either over-or underdiagnosis of GBS in younger patients [35,36] . The lower incidence of GBS in older age groups may reflect a survivor bias, in which individuals surviving into their 80s and 90s are less likely to develop GBS, although there is no substantiated biological basis for this hypothesis.…”

“…Однако у нашего контингента имеются четкие отличия по сравнению с данными исследователей из США и Китая, где описана обратная ситуация: встречаемость СГБ среди девочек США в 1,5 раза выше, чем у мальчиков (соотношение мужской : женский пол -1 : 1,5). Среди детей Южного Китая девочки и мальчики болеют одинаково часто, 1 : 1,1 [21,22]. СГБ в нашем исследовании не имеет достоверных отличий в сезонности, но отмечена тенденция к повышению частоты заболеваемости в зимний период (35%), в то время как реже всего СГБ встречался осенью (13%).…”

“…Преобладающей формой СГБ среди детей по г. Москве является ОВДП (77%), что совпадает с данными по США, Корее и Гонконгу (Южный Китай), где доля ОВДП составляет от 61 до 95%, в то время как в Северном Китае преобладают аксональные формы -70% составляет ОМАН [21,22,24]. В нашей выборке ОМАН встретилась лишь в 16%, ОМСАН -в 7%, что меньше средних данных по Корее и США: ОМАН 25% и ОМСАН 13% [24].…”
