Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system, often triggered by infections. This important medical emergency can also have noninfectious causes, such as trauma, surgery, medication (including vaccinations), and other systemic disorders. Here, we present a rare case of GBS following a snakebite. A 19-year-old man presented to the emergency department with quadriparesis and areflexia after showing initial recovery from a snakebite. Nerve conduction studies revealed motor axonal polyneuropathy. He was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, which improved his clinical condition. This case report highlights a rare cause of GBS and emphasizes that timely recognition and treatment can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. Additionally, we reviewed past literature of this rare association.

年轻男性蛇咬伤后发生格林-巴利综合征1例并文献复习。
格林-巴利综合征(GBS)是一种影响周围神经系统的自身免疫性疾病,通常由感染引发。这种重要的医疗紧急情况也可能有非感染性原因,如创伤、手术、药物(包括疫苗接种)和其他全身性疾病。在这里,我们提出一个罕见的情况下,GBS后蛇咬伤。一名19岁的男子在被蛇咬伤后初步恢复后,因四肢麻痹和反射性屈曲而被送往急诊室。神经传导检查显示运动轴突多发性神经病。经静脉注射免疫球蛋白治疗,临床情况得到改善。本病例报告强调了一种罕见的GBS病因,并强调及时识别和治疗可以显著降低发病率和死亡率。此外,我们回顾了以往关于这种罕见关联的文献。
