Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) affects only movement-linked nerves. Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) attacks cranial nerves and starts in the eyes, affecting movement. It is a very rare form of GBS.

A similar form of GBS is acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy, which starts with sensory changes, such as tingling or numbness. Some types begin more slowly and involve ongoing symptoms.

Fourth, to identify axonal damage in GBS, longitudinal electrophysiology will need to be performed account for changes that occur during the acute stage of disease.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disorder affecting about 1 in 100,000 people, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will now include a U.S. Food and Drug Administration warning because of the chance of an increase in the risk for a rare neurological disorder.

However, in case of the axonal variant of GBS, we did see rapid progression," said Dr Jitendra Ingole, from Navale hospital's ...

A new study suggests that low GBS incidence in vaccinated patients compared to non-vaccinated people should encourage the active propagation of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.
