Symptoms: Abasia, Anaemia, Asthenia, Cardiac failure, Constipation
Clinical narrative: This 68 year old called because she felt very weak. She had gone to a hospital with symptoms that were complex and was sent home. She had called back again and she was advised to come to the ER to rule out Guillain-Barre syndrome. She admitted that she had these pains in the back of her thighs and calves since Wednesday before the 31st and she started getting paresthesia, tingling and numbness in her hands and feet, 2 days later, on Friday, and when she went to the ER, she was told that she had just hypoventilated and needed to go home. On exam, there were moderately severe weakness of the extremities (upper and lower). The pt is unable to get up and walk. This pt was fine until 2 weeks prior to this onset which was only 5-6 day history of rapidly progressive weakness and numbness, she went and got injections, IZ's for going to Africa. These were all on 7/17/00. She had DT, Hep-A, Typhium VI and Yellow Fever. The neurologist felt that her presentation was most consistent with acute rapidly progressive generalized sensory motor and polyneuropathy most likely acute Guillain-Barre and recommended she be transferred to ICU for close observation and developing of any airway compromise, respiratory insufficiency or autonomic instability. He proceeded also to recommend plasmapheresis and had the surgeon insert a central venous catheter and preparations were made with the Red Cross to come and do the plasmapheresis. During the hospitalization she was also seen by GI doctor as her hemoglobin kept dropping and recommended to just continue the Pepcid and observe and hematest all stools and felt it was just a hemodynamic use of the blood. In ICU, she was seen daily by medicine and neurology and underwent 5 plasmapheresis and she started to show some slow movement of the hands and arms, and was then set up for 5 days of IVIG. Up to the 7th, she could not move the feet off the bed and could raise the left arm slightly and still had significant numbness in the arms and legs and had right facial droop. We took daily checks of her vital capacity and during this period of time, we did come up with a positive C. difficile, the question is why. On the 9th, she was transferred from ICU to the medical ward. She still had no movement of the legs and we fitted her initially with tennis shoes and then podus boots. Because of some cramping and pains in the calves the doctor added some Neurontin to ease the neuropathy. We also added Tylenol and some Ben Gay type liniment to help her sleep better and she seemed to tolerate the Neurontin and by the 15th she was now able to raise the arm over the head and was doing better with feeding. She was transferred on the 18th by EMS for follow up PCU type of care. She was having a big problem with constipation and also added lactulose and Dulcolax suppositories every several days. Other medicines are Slow-Mag. Visken, Slow K, Lasix and Neurontin and Xanax. Use occasional warm soaks to the low back and legs and Myoflex liniment.  Diagnosed with GBS.
