Guillain- Barre syndrome, which is also known as GBS, is a disorder named after George Guillain (1876- 1961) and Jean Barre (1880- 1967), who were the first people to describe and start to understand the disorder. GBS is a disorder in which the immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system, which is made up of nerves that extend out from the central nervous system. There are multiple names for this disorder for example it may be called, Acute Idiopathic Polyneuritis, Acute Inflammatory Demyelination, and Landry- Guillain-Barre syndrome. Guillain- Barre syndrome can affect anybody at any age; people over the age of 40 are more likely to get the disorder than younger people are. Also race and gender do not have anything to do with who is more likely to get GBS. Only about one in 100,000 people get it, so the disorder is very rare. Scientists, doctors, and pharmacologists are working together to learn how to prevent this disorder and to make better therapies available to patients when it happens. There are many symptoms to GBS like weakness of muscles, tingling sensations in the legs and arms. People can have trouble speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Patients can also have low blood pressure, poor blood
