Guillain-Barré Syndrome Following the First Dose of Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine, BBIBP-CorV.

We present a case report of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following inactivated whole virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, BBIBP-CorV. A man presented with paresthesia in both upper and lower limbs with bifacial weakness, onset 18 days after receiving the first BBIBP-CorV vaccine. A bifacial palsy with a paresthesia variant of GBS was diagnosed, and the patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, arresting the progression of neurological symptoms. Clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of GBS following vaccination with BBIBP-CorV, an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
