What Does GBS Stand For?

GBS stands for Guillain Barre Syndrome

Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the body's immune system mistakenly attacking the peripheral nerves. This condition often follows an infection and can lead to muscle weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. Symptoms typically start with tingling and weakness in the legs and may progress to involve other parts of the body. Timely medical intervention is crucial for management and rehabilitation. Most individuals recover fully or partially, but some may experience long-term effects.
