Childhood Guillain–Barre syndrome in the SARS‐CoV‐2 era: Is there any causative relation?

We reported an association between SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS). From 37 patients with GBS, previous SARS‐CoV‐2 clinical clues, including fever, cough, and diarrhea, were recorded in 18 patients. Among them, SARS‐CoV‐2 IgG was detected in seven patients, considered confirme...

Sumario:We reported an association between SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS). From 37 patients with GBS, previous SARS‐CoV‐2 clinical clues, including fever, cough, and diarrhea, were recorded in 18 patients. Among them, SARS‐CoV‐2 IgG was detected in seven patients, considered confirmed as cases. SARS‐CoV‐2 PCR was positive in just one patient. Although we found no increase in patient recruitment during the pandemic compared to previous years, our study indicated that SARS‐CoV‐2 is associated with poorer outcomes regarding GBS disability scale and hospital stay.
