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.
