A question of hygiene: On the Guillain-Barré Syndrome outbreak in Pune

The Hindu  

At the heart of the current Guillain-Barré Syndrome outbreak in Pune, where over 100 cases of suspected GBS have been recorded, is a bacterial infection. In almost all the patients, recent case history has shown episodes of gastroenteritis, vomiting, diarrhoea and nausea before the onset of the characteristic peripheral numbing of GBS, leading to paralysis. GBS is a rare, autoimmune neurological disorder, in which a person’s immune system launches an attack on the peripheral nervous system, leading to tingling, weakening of muscles, numbing and paralysis in the arms and legs, not unlike in the acute flaccid paralysis of polio. While India-specific large epidemiological studies on GBS are lacking, as testing for GBS in a resource-poor setting is difficult, according to a WHO report, it was estimated that 138 cases of GBS were seen annually in seven major teaching hospitals, with approximately 75% of cases occurring in adults.
