Guillain-Barré Syndrome With a Peculiar Course: A Case Report.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) or acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves. In this report, we present a case of a 15-month-old girl who presented with an inability to walk and support the vertical and sitting positions, pain in the lower limbs accompanied by grimaces, muscular weakness, and agitation due to gait disturbances. This is a unique case in that GBS affected a previously healthy girl and was associated with pneumonia and anemia as the disease progressed, causing an intriguing diagnosis. Also, another remarkable aspect of our case is that complete recovery was achieved following intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and anti-inflammatory treatment; our patient was able to walk again after receiving the first dose of IVIG.
