Patient's question:
I've been feeling very sore lately. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I have Guillain-Barré syndrome. I want to ask the doctor what the cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome is?Doctor's answer:
Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune-mediated demyelinating disease of the spinal and peripheral nerves. The main symptoms are sudden recurrence of weakness or sensory loss in the lower limbs. Currently, the exact cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome is not yet clear, primarily considered to be related to autoimmune conditions, various infections, and long-term exposure to chemical substances. Neurotrophic drugs can be administered for treatment.
