Abstract:
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune-driven condition characterized by acute polyneuropathy, often emerging as a sequel to prior infections or vaccinations. This study presents the first reported cases of GBS emerging after the full recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in Korea. Despite experiencing mild acute COVID-19 symptoms, these patients faced substantial weakness attributed to GBS, significantly affecting their daily lives. The timely administration of intravenous immunoglobulin treatment halted the progression of symptoms, underscoring the critical importance of early intervention. These cases highlight the potential for neurological complications associated with COVID-19 and underscore the necessity for continuous monitoring and timely medical care.
