Guillain-Barre Syndrome in a Child Infected with COVID-19

Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) characterizes a monophasic ascending, symmetrical paralysis, with areflexia, progressing over days to weeks. Normally, as a post-infectious autoimmune procedure, it leads to destroying myelin. Scattered reports exist regarding the concurrent evidence of COVID-19 infection and adults with possible GBS. However, few former cases were reported in children. Here in, we report an 11 years-old boy with GBS concurrent with COVID-19 infection.
