Document: Between 2005 and 2015, a total of 100 pediatric cases were admitted to the emergency department complaining of acute paralysis. The 10-year prevalence of GBS among cases with acute paralysis (N=100) was 49%. Males constituted 29 (59.2%) of the sample, whereas 20 (40.8%) were females. The mean ± standard deviation age was 7±3.7 years, that is 26 (53.1%) between 1 and 7 years old and 23 (46.9%) between 8 and 14 years old. Although 14 (28.6%) of the cases were unclassified categories of GBS, 18 (36.7%) were classified as AIDP, 14 (28.6%) as acute motor axonal neuropathy/ acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy, and 3 (6.1%) as Miller Fisher syndrome. A concurrent infection with GBS or vaccine occurred in 34 (69.4%) cases. Minimal seasonal variation in GBS admissions was observed between the summer and winter seasons, 44.9% in colder seasons vs 55.1% in warmer seasons (Table 1) .
