To describe the clinical characteristics, paraclinical features, and recovery outcomes of children with Guillain–Barré syndrome.
Prospective study of 40 children diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome from January 2021 to December 2022.
Data collected included demographics, clinical features, treatments, complications, and recovery outcomes based on GDS score.
Follow-up assessments were conducted at multiple time points up to 6 months post-diagnosis.
82.5% of patients were male, and over 50% were older than 10 years.
75% had a preceding infection, mainly respiratory tract infections, with initial symptoms of leg pain and bulbar palsy in 47.5%.
At 6 months, 100% of patients achieved independent ambulation; a correlation was noted between mechanical ventilation needs and GDS scores at 1 and 2 months.
