Abstract
|
|
|
|
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is usually characterized by acute areflexic ascending paralysis with minimal sensory involvement. Only a few cases of GBS associated with scrub typhus have been reported. Previous case reports focused on the laboratory findings, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestation. Unlike the previous case, neuropathic pain was a prominent symptom of GBS in our case. We report scrub-typhus-related GBS with a detailed description of the clinical manifestations, especially neuropathic pain, along with results of serial follow-up electrodiagnostic studies.
