Guillain-Barré Syndrome Complicating a Pulmonary Abscess: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy often triggered by infections. We report a case of GBS in a patient with a pulmonary abscess, highlighting the link between respiratory infection and the development of this neurological syndrome. We will also discuss the pathophysiology of GBS and the clinical implications for managing patients presenting with neurological symptoms after a respiratory infection.
