Abstract

Thirty consecutive patients diagnosed clinically as Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) were enrolled in this study to see the electrophysiological patterns of GBS in Bangladeshi community. Among 30 patients, 25 were male (M: F = 5:1) and 47% patients were between 16 and 25 years of age. An antecedent event was present in 67% of patients. An elevated protein was present in 90% of cases and a cell count of up to five was present in 94% of patients. Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (AIDP) was commonest (33.35%) followed by acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) which constitute 26% of patients in electrophysiological study of the enrolled patients. Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy constitutes 14% of cases in this series. (J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2006; 24: 54-60)
