High-Yield Explanation
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare condition in which a person's immune system attacks the peripheral nerves. Most people recover fully from even the most severe cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome. Severe cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome are rare, but can result in near-total paralysis. As a rule, axonal peripheral neuropathies affect the longest axons first. These are the so called "dying back" neuropathies. Transpo of proteins and nutrients from the cell body is affected early, with subsequent breakdown and loss of the most distal peripheral nerve fibers seen in arsenic , diabetic neuropathies Ref Harrison20th edition pg 2234
