Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acquired condition and is characterized by progressive, symmetrical, proximal and distal tingling and weakness. Muscle stretch reflexes are decreased to absent and loss of sensation is common. A 4-year female child with no significant past medical history who presented with progressive weakness involving both upper and lower limbs over 48 to 72 h and complaints of tachypnea and hypotonia involving all group of muscles was admitted in Sri Venkateswara Ramnarayan Ruia Government General Hospital, Tirupati. In the present report, the main clinical aspects and features of Guillain-Barré syndrome along with the multidisciplinary approach to the acute phase combining supportive and high dose of immunoglobulin therapy were practiced. Patient should have follow-up within 2 weeks after the acute syndrome to evaluate for relapse, at which point repeat intravenous immunoglobulin. Thereafter, follow-up is necessary for every 4–6 weeks for 6 months, then 6 months for 1 year and then yearly.展开更多

Children's awareness of dyspnea is variable and there is only a poor correlation between the objective respiratory distress measurements and the subjectively awareness of dyspnea. Those who do not perceive dyspnea may not be motivated to comply with their daily prophylactic treatment. Since dyspnea is the main symptom of asthma, and disease management is based largely on the description of symptoms between clinic visits, unreliable symptom report may mislead decision-making for longterm treatment of asthma. Thus, therapeutic decisions should not be taken solely on patients' perception and description of dyspnea.展开更多
