“…Moreover, four patients were diagnosed with CHIKV, Chagas disease, or Dengue virus (n = 2) infection in the workup done during the course of GBS [14,36,41]. Suckling mouse brain (SMB) rabies vaccination preceded the onset of neurological symptoms in 17 patients included in two studies [16,40]. Moreover, a two-year-old patient had received three doses of polio vaccine 12, 11, and 10 months before developing GBS [32].…”

“…Regarding the therapeutic strategies implemented, articles published before 1980 described treatment approaches that included respiratory assistance and symptomatic treatment, intravenous adrenocorticotropic hormone, or corticosteroids [16,38,40]. Later articles described treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) or plasmapheresis along with respiratory assistance [14, 25, 31-37, 39, 41-43].…”

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rapid-onset muscle weakness disease caused by the immune-mediated damage of the peripheral nervous system. Since there is an increase incidence of GBS cases in Latin America, particularly in Colombia, and most of them are currently preceded by Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, we aimed to assess the available evidence of the disease in Colombia through a systematic literature review. Out of 51 screened abstracts, only 16 corresponded to articles that met inclusion criteria, of which 15 were case reports or case series. A total of 796 cases of GBS were reported in the included articles. The majority of patients were males (66.8 %) and younger than 50 years old (94 %). An infectious disease before the onset of GBS was registered in 31 % of patients, with gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms being the most frequently observed. In those cases in which electrodiagnostic tests were performed, the most common subphenotype was acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (17 %). Death was reported in 15 % of patients. Data regarding GBS in Colombia is scant and heterogeneous. Taking into account the burden of the disease and the recent rise of GBS cases associated with ZIKV, a careful patient evaluation and a systematic collection of data are warranted. A form to data gathering is proposed.

“…11,15 Experience from Europe, North America and Australia has shown that AIDP is the most common form of GBS, with Miller-Fisher syndrome occurring in 2--7% cases. 8,11,[15][16][17][18] In Bangladesh, GBS is the commonest cause of polyradiculopathy in hospitals. 19 A case-control study in Bangladesh reports an unusually high frequency of an axonal form of GBS in Bangladesh associated with preceding Campylobacter-associated infections, serum antibodies against GD1a and GM1, slow recovery, and severe residual disability.…”

“…SMBV is inexpensive (US$1.5 per treatment course) and easily manufactured locally; it is the most widely used postexposure vaccine in Vietnam. Rare neurological reactions do occur with SMBV, Complications of the CNS have been reported to occur after vaccination with an incidence of 1:27000 treated people, with a 22% mortality4 The mortality was particularly high (90%) if there was extensive CNS involvement. The third type of vaccine available is the human diploid cell tissue culture vaccine (HDCV), which is both safe and efficacious.…”
