Abstract:
Guillain-Barré Syndrome is an autoimmune condition that commonly develops after bacterial or viral infection. Parasitic infections including malaria can also rarely cause Guillain-Barré Syndrome especially in malaria endemic areas like Pakistan. The exact association between malaria and Guillain-Barré Syndrome is not well understood or documented in literature. We report a case of a young male who was infected with malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum and then developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome that was managed with plasmapheresis.
