Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare disorder characterized by neuropathy that has a mortality rate of 4% to 7%.[1] The effects of Guillain-Barré syndrome are the most common cause of quadriparesis, muscle weakness in all four limbs, in the world (1-2 cases per 100,000 people). Before 1979, the most common cause of quadriparesis was polio, but the introduction of the vaccine eradicated polio in the US and the rest of the world besides Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag [2]
