Several things are known to tigger GBS. About two-thirds of people with GBS had diarrhea or a respiratory illness several weeks before developing symptoms. Infection with campylobacter jejuni, which causes diarrhea, is one of the most common risk factors for GBS. People can develop GBS after some other infections, such as flu, cytomegalovirus, Epstein barr virus, and zika virus. Very rarely, people have developed GBS in the days or weeks after receiving certain vaccines. It can be caused by campylobacter infection that is diagnosed when a laboratory tests detect campylobacter bacteria in stool, body tissue, or fluids. The test could be a culture that isolates the bacteria or a rapid diagnostic test that detects genetic material of the bacteria. The major aim of this case report is to present a classic case of this condition, to highlight an awareness of differing treatment options, and to advocate referral to a given its physician potential severity. Treatment for GBS including antibiotics, drink extra fluids as long as diarrhea lasts, plasma exchange, immunoglobulin therapy2.
