Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. This leads to muscle weakness, numbness, and in severe cases, paralysis. The exact cause of GBS is unknown, but it is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection. Treatment for GBS typically involves hospitalization and supportive care, such as intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and plasmapheresis. Physical therapy may also be beneficial for recovery. While GBS can be a serious condition, many individuals improve with time and proper medical management.
