Abstract: Guillain -Barre syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated disorder of nervous system and a recognized cause of generalized progressive paralysis worldwide. The most common symptoms of GBS include Quadriparesis, paresthesia both upper and lower limbs which is ascending in nature and difficulty in standing from sitting position. Many antecedent events of GBS Ave been identified including Cytomegalovirus infection, Campylobacter jejuni gastroenteritis, Mycoplasma pneumonia, influenza virus and Epstein Barr virus infections. This study was aimed to document the clinical findings, assess the risk factors, diagnosis and treatment pattern in variants of GBS (i.e. Acute Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP), Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN), and Acute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN) amongst the patients with GBS during the hospital stay.
