The peripheral nerves convey sensory information (i.e., pain, temperature, etc.) from the body to the brain and motor (i.e., movement) signals from the brain to the body. GBS is characterized by weakness and numbness or tingling in the legs and arms, and possible loss of movement and feeling in the legs, arms, upper body, and face. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradicalneuropathy (CIDP), is considered to be a related form of Guillain-Barre syndrome. It is much less common than GBS, and evolves much more slowly and usually is longer lasting. Some CIDP patients experience periods of worsening and improvement, and individual relapses are often confused with GBS.

André Strohl Description: The commonest form of acquired neuropathy affecting both sexes, most frequently affecting young adults and believed to be a form of autoimmune disease with a delayed hypersensitivity reaction. Commences with progressive muscular weakness of extremities that may lead to paralysis. It spreads rapidly, ascending to involve the cranial nerves. Commences distally but spreads proximally and may involve the bulbar region and the diaphragm. Clinical features are pain in the back and the legs and weakness beginning in the feet and legs and progressing upwards. The respiratory muscles are affected in about half the cases, and this puts the patient in danger. The tendon reflexes are lost. Recovery after a period varying from several weeks or months is the usual outcome. There is no specific therapy. Usually the spinal fluid contains an increased amount of protein but only rarely will the cells in the fluid be increased.

The many names of the syndrome Variants of GBS GBS - Facts at a glance Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare inflammation of the nerves, caused by the patient's body producing antibodies against the peripheral nerves. The syndrome affects each patient differently and so the course of the disease differs for each patient. How and why one contracts GBS is as yet unknown. The syndrome is typically observed after an infection in the lungs, diarrhoea, surgery, vaccination or childbirth. The inflammation damages portions of the nerve cell, resulting in muscle weakness, paralysis or sensory disturbances. The damage usually involves loss of the nerve's myelin sheath (demyelination), which slows the conduction of impulses through the nerve.

Box 180001 Fort Smith, AR Payment Error Prevention Program DRG 475 Sequencing of Respiratory Failure in Association with Nonrespiratory Conditions The September-October 1987 issue of Coding Clinic indicated that respiratory failure can be designated as the principal diagnosis when it is due to an underlying disease, depending on the circumstances. Coding Clinic November-December 1987 further indicated that respiratory failure due to or associated with a respiratory condition is appropriately sequenced as the principal diagnosis when the circumstances of the admission support such a decision. Since that time, the Central Office on ICD-9-CM has received numerous questions regarding the sequencing of respiratory failure with an associated or underlying nonpulmonary diagnosis. The question is whether respiratory failure can be listed as the principal diagnosis in such cases. The following guidelines are provided to assist in determining the correct sequencing of diagnoses when a patient is admitted in respiratory failure associated with a nonrespiratory condition.

The central nervous systemincluding the brain, the coverings of the brain (meninges), and the spinal cord and peripheral nerves and muscles are involved. Guillain-Barrqe syndrome can affect both sexes, all ages, but occurs far more commonly in adults than children. Appropriate health care includes: Physician's monitoring of general condition and medications. Hospitalization. Self-care after diagnosis. Early stages: Muscle weakness in hands and feet, arms and legs, abdomen and chest. The weakness spreads within 72 hours; it may create life-threatening breathing difficulty for your child. Shock (weakness, faintness, cold hands and feet, rapid heartbeat, sweating). Later stages:

Special instructions About your treatment Your doctor has ordered the drug mercaptopurine to help treat your illness. The drug is taken by mouth in tablet form. This medication is used to treat: leukemia This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Mercaptopurine belongs to a group of drugs known as antimetabolites. It resembles a normal cell nutrient needed by cancer cells to grow. The cancer cells take up mercaptopurine which then interferes with their growth. Other uses for this medicine Mercaptopurine also is used to treat many types of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, acute idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, erythroid aplasia, or myelofibrosis; idiopathic hemolytic anemia; macroglobulinemia; idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura; idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis; multiple sclerosis; myasthenia gravis; uveitis; and ulcerative colitis.
