Outcome and follow up:
Based on the previous work up a diagnosis of GBS was made. The patient had a stable forced vital capacity (FVC) above 80% throughout his stay in the hospital. He received human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) at a dose of 0.4 gm/kg/day for 5 days, after which he showed signs of improvement in ambulation and overall function. As he remained stable and responded well to IVIG, he was transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility for physiotherapy and is planned to have regular follow-ups in the neurology clinic after discharge.
