 Why in news

  • An outbreak of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) has been reported in Pune, with 73 cases so far.

  • A Union Health Ministry team and Maharashtra's Rapid Response Team have been dispatched to investigate the situation.

What is Guillain-Barré Syndrome?

  • GBS is a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks peripheral nerves, causing muscle weakness or paralysis.

  • It affects people of any age but is more common in adults and males.

  • The condition is often triggered by viral or bacterial infections, like gastroenteritis from Campylobacter jejuni or viral infections such as flu, Epstein-Barr, or Zika virus.

How does it affect the body?

  • GBS destroys the myelin sheath around nerves, disrupting signals to the brain and causing muscle weakness.

  • Initial symptoms include tingling, weakness in legs, back pain, difficulty walking, facial movements, and double vision.

  • Severe cases can lead to paralysis, difficulty breathing, swallowing, and heart rate or blood pressure problems, potentially life-threatening.

Treatment and Recovery

  • There is no cure for GBS, but treatments like plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy can aid recovery.

  • Plasma exchange removes harmful antibodies from the blood, and immunoglobulin therapy helps decrease immune system attacks on nerves.

  • Recovery can take time, with some people needing physical and occupational therapy

  • Intensive care may be required for severe cases.
