Guillain–Barré syndrome
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), sometimes Landry's paralysis or Guillain-Barre-Strohl syndrome is a syndrome that causes weakness of the feet and hands. Guillain-Barre syndrome is rare, at 1-2 cases per 100,000 people annually, but is the most common cause of acute non-trauma-related paralysis. The syndrome is named after the French physicians Georges Guillain and Jean Alexandre Barre, who described it in 1916.
