The Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a rare condition that causes sudden numbness and💦 muscle wea🅺kness, with symptoms including severe weakness in the limbs, loose motions etc.
Bacterial and viral in൲fections generally lead to GBS as they weaken the immunity of patient𓄧s, according to doctors.
While GBS is prevalent in both paediatric and ꧑young-age groups, it will not lead to an epidemic or pandemic, they said, adding that most patients recover fully with treatment.
The state health department set up the Rapid Response Team to investigate the sudden rise in this infection after 24 suspected c𒐪ases were found initially.
