Abstract: GBS is a neurological disease where mild infections can cause the immune system to trigger to destroy the myelin sheath of the neurons. Few vaccines such as rabies vaccine have also found to be causing it. Fewer studies from India have been shown to have such adverse reactions which are either unreported or misdiagnosed. Hence, this case study was rare and worth reporting to raise awareness for the same.
