    Snippet: Since the identification of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 in Wuhan, several case reports have proposed a possible association between Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and COVID-19. We describe a case of a 59-year-old female who initially presented with shortness of breath, tested positive for COVID-19, and subsequently developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Her recovery was complicated by acute polyneuropathy. Clinical exam and lumbar puncture showing an albuminocyto
    Document: Since the identification of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 in Wuhan, several case reports have proposed a possible association between Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and COVID-19. We describe a case of a 59-year-old female who initially presented with shortness of breath, tested positive for COVID-19, and subsequently developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Her recovery was complicated by acute polyneuropathy. Clinical exam and lumbar puncture showing an albuminocytologic dissociation were consistent with GBS. The prevalence and association of GBS following COVID-19 infection require further research to understand the short and long-term neurological effects of COVID-19, as well as the management of these various neurological manifestations.
