Hi doctor,
My girlfriend suffers from a very rare disorder called GBS (Guillain-Barre syndrome). Initially, she was attacked by the virus three years back and was treated successfully. Now, it has relapsed before two days. I want to ask how this is going to affect our future married life. Is there any chance of recurrence?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your question with care and understood your concern.
- As per theory, between 5% and 10% of patients with typical GBS (Guillain-Barre syndrome) have one or more late relapse. Such cases are then classified as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
- Yes, there is a chance of recurrence. But, this can be treated.
- Hence, this will not affect your married life in the future.
