Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare but serious neurological disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. This can lead to muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling in the arms and legs. In serious cases, it can cause paralysis of the muscles needed for breathing and other essential functions. The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown, but it is often occurs after an infection, such as a respiratory or gastrointestinal illness. Treatment may involve therapies to reduce inflammation and support the affected nerves.
