Excerpt

A 66-year-old male patient suspected of having Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was referred to us by the internal medicine department of a peripheral hospital.

Subacute symptoms had started 2 weeks earlier accompanied by excruciating whole-body pain that the patient had noticed when he woke up. …
