Refractory HIV-Associated Guillain-Barré Syndrome Responsive to Antiretroviral Therapy: A Case Report.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute polyneuropathy commonly preceded by infection, with growing recognition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as a trigger. We present a case of a 44-year-old male with HIV-associated GBS refractory to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy, who achieved remission upon starting highly active antireroviral therapy (HAART). There remains a lack of consensus on the management of this condition across the spectrum of disease, and the interplay between the therapeutic options is poorly understood. This report aims to add to the current body of knowledge on this rare condition and highlight the need for retrospective analysis of the currently available literature.
