prednisone and Guillain-Barre Syndrome

prednisone has been researched along with Guillain-Barre Syndrome in 25 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome: An acute inflammatory autoimmune neuritis caused by T cell- mediated cellular immune response directed towards peripheral myelin. Demyelination occurs in peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection, surgery, immunization, lymphoma, or exposure to toxins. Common clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Weakness of respiratory muscles and autonomic dysfunction may occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1312-1314)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Although acute inflammatory polyneuropathy (AIP) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) are both believed to be immune-mediated disorders, only a few cases have been reported in which these two diseases co-existed."2.43Acute inflammatory sensorimotor polyradiculoneuropathy associated with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. ( Akiyama, N; Kamata, T; Kanda, T; Kuwana, M; Sato, N, 2005)
"The neurologic manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are wide-ranging, including various cranial neuropathies, beyond anosmia and dysgeusia, the exact neuropathological mechanism of which are yet unknown."1.62Stridor Due to Cranial Nerve X Palsy Progressing to Polyneuropathy in a Teenager With COVID-19. ( Chelius, D; Dean, A; Marri, K; Said, A, 2021)
"A third patient has acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and develops Guillain-Barré syndrome during his hospitalization."1.35Simultaneous Guillain-Barré syndrome and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in the pediatric population. ( Bernard, G; Dilenge, ME; Poulin, C; Riou, E; Rosenblatt, B, 2008)
"Neurosarcoidosis is a great mimicker."1.32Sarcoidosis of the cauda equina mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome. ( Lewis, RA; Shah, JR, 2003)
"Corticosteroids are rarely used in the treatment of pain in the course of GBS, although some authors have pointed out their value for the treatment of neuropathic pain."1.32[Contribution of corticosteroid to the treatment of pain in the acute phase of Guillain-Barré syndrome]. ( Boukhris, S; Kabore, R; Lacoste, M; Mabrouk, T; Magy, L; Vallat, JM, 2004)
"Another clinical variant is the Miller-Fisher syndrome characterized by ataxia, ophthalmoparesis, and areflexia."1.31Guillain-Barré syndrome: perspectives with infants and children. ( Jones, HR, 2000)
