Pediatric Physiotherapeutic Approach for Guillain-Barre Syndrome Associated With Dengue Fever: A Case Report.

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a peripheral nerve system (PNS) inflammatory disorder characterized by sudden, acute, symmetrical, generally ascending limb weakness with diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes, upper- and lower-extremity paresthesias, and sensory complaints. GBS is caused by an aberrant immunological response to an infection, which causes peripheral nerve damage. Dengue virus has been linked to a number of neurological diseases, including GBS. In the current case report, an eight-year-old child was taken to the hospital with dengue fever and lower limb paralysis. Physiotherapy methods focused on muscle strength and functional activity. The major goal of this case study was to assess functional tasks and enhance the patient's reaction to physical treatment. We find that the patient's response to strength and functional tasks was excellent in the early phases of recovery.
