Symptoms: Areflexia, Bulbar palsy, CSF protein increased, CSF white blood cell count negative, Facial paresis
Clinical narrative: This case was reported in a literature article and described the occurrence of Guillain Barre syndrome in a 40-year-old male subject who was vaccinated with BOOSTRIX (GlaxoSmithKline). Concurrent medical conditions included small temporal epidural hematoma, nondisplaced right temporal skull fracture and zygomatic arch fracture due to a fall from a secondary story roof. His neurological examination was normal. On an unspecified date, the subject received unspecified dose of BOOSTRIX (route and injection site unknown). One week after vaccination, he was discharged home. Less than one month after vaccination with BOOSTRIX, few days after his discharged, the subject experienced weakness and numbness in his legs which progressed to involve his arms. The subject was hospitalised 3 weeks after his initial fall. The subject's examinations showed muscle strength was 2/5 in his lower extremities and 3/5 in his upper extremities. His deep tendon reflexes were absent at his ankles and knees and were diminished in his upper extremities. There was bilateral peripheral facial paresis, bulbar weakness and impaired gag reflex. He had diminished touch and pin prick sensation in a stocking glove distribution. His vital capacity was reduced to 1.4 liters. Magnetic resonance imaging of his brain and spinal cord were unremarkable. A lumbar puncture revealed a cerebrospinal fluid protein of 790mg/dL and one white blood cell. Guillain-Barre Syndrome was diagnosed. Nerve conduction studies revealed prolongation of the upper and lower motor action potential latencies, reduced motor conduction velocities and reduced amplitude. Median and ulnar nerves sensory action potentials were absent. The subject was treated with normal immunoglobulin and his muscle strength improved. 3 months later he continued to have tingling in his hands and feet and use a walker. At the time of reporting, limb weakness was improved and the outcome of the other events was unspecified.
