superficial anterior muscles, landry-guillain-barre syndrome, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, infectious polyneuritis, acute inflammatory polyneuropathy, guillain-barre syndrome, nerve inflammation involving progressive muscle weakness, paralysis, follows an infectious illness, guillain-barre syndrome, acute type of nerve inflammation, inflammation damages portions, the nerve cell, resulting in muscle weakness, paralysis, sensory loss, includes loss, the myelin sheath, the nerve (demyelination, slows the conduction of impulses, the nerve, cause kill the axon part, the nerve cell, denervation, stops nerve function entirely, the axon, messages cannot be transferred, one nerve cell to another, exact cause of this disorder, occur at any age but, common in people of both sexes between the ages 30, follows a minor infection, a respiratory, lung, infection, gastrointestinal, gut, infection, signs, the original infection have disappeared, the signs of guillain-barre begin, guillain-barre syndrome, occur in association, viral infections, mononucleosis, aids, herpes simplex, after infections, bacteria, mycoplasma, types of diarrhea, guillain-barre occurs following surgery, vaccinations, rabies, swine flu vaccines, in association, medical problems systemic lupus erythematosus, hodgkin's disease, disorder progresses rapidly, from days to a few weeks, causing weakness, paralysis equally on both sides, weakness starts, in the legs, spreads, arms, ascending paralysis, patients, tingling, foot, hand pain, clumsiness, paralysis worsens, require assisted ventilation, breathe, beginning phase, the illness, rapid worsening, take only a few hours to reach the most severe symptoms, severe symptoms, last up to 3 weeks, followed by a plateau phase of no changes, a recovery phase of improvement over days to 6 months, longer, typical symptoms, muscle weakness, paralysis, most common symptom, uncoordinated movements, weakness begins, in the feet, legs, progress upward, arms, cranial, head, nerves, progress rapidly over 24 to 72 hours, arms, progress downward, in the arms, legs, in the cranial nerves only, not occur, mild cases, sensation changes, numbness, decreased sensation, tenderness, muscle pain, a cramp-like pain, accompanies, precedes muscle weakness, not occur at, additional symptoms that associated, blurred vision, difficulty moving face muscles, clumsiness, falling, palpitations, sensation of feeling heartbeat, muscle contractions, symptoms indicating an emergency, difficulty swallowing, drooling, difficulty breathing, breathing, absent temporarily, inability to take a deep breath, fainting, a history of increasing muscle weakness, paralysis, indicate guillain-barre syndrome, there was a recent illness, neurological examination shows muscle weakness, indicate dysfunction, the control of involuntary, autonomic, body functions blood pressure, heart rate, sensory loss minimal, sensory changes, evidence of decreased breathing ability, paralysis, the breathing muscles, a decrease in deep tendon reflexes, in the arms, legs, an ncv, nerve conduction velocity, demyelination, an emg, a test of electrical activity in muscles, lack of nervous stimulation, a csf, cerebrospinal fluid, examination abnormal, showing increase in protein, increase in white blood cell count, an ecg, abnormalities, treatment was available, recovered completely, symptoms severe, course, the disorder, hospitalization, required to support breathing function, prevent complications, physical therapy, plasmaphoresis, decrease the severity, facilitate a more rapid recovery, in this procedure, blood plasma, contains antibodies, removed, replaced, intravenous fluids, antibody-free donated plasma, intravenous immune globulin, ivig, equally effective in reducing the severity, duration, treatments, directed at preventing complications choking, feeding, positioning, use of a feeding tube, blood clots, positioning, blood thinners, intermittent bladder catheterization, pain is treated aggressively, anti-inflammatory agents, narcotics, guillain-barre syndrome foundation international, all cases, 95%, survive, majority recover completely, mild weakness, persist, people, likely to be very good, symptoms remit, 3 weeks of onset, breathing difficulty, respiratory failure, aspiration of food, fluids, lungs, pneumonia, increased risk of infections, deep vein thrombosis, permanent loss of movement of an area, contractures of joints, deformity, loss of movement, decreased sensation, emergency symptoms occur, difficulty swallowing, breathing, feeling "unable to take a deep breath", fainting.
