GuillainBarre Syndrome following Tuberculosis: A Rare Association.

Lakhotia, Akshay Navalkishor Chouksey, Dinesh Jain, Rahul Sodani, Ajoy Kumar

Abstract


The co-occurrence of GuillainBarre syndrome (GBS) and tuberculosis is rare. Even in countries like India, where tuberculosis is common, there is only one case report of co-occurrence of GBS with tuberculosis. We report a case of GBS in association with sputum-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. The earliest treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin in acute motor axonal neuropathy variant of GBS would show good early recovery despite associated pulmonary tuberculosis.
