What is Guillain–Barré syndrome?
'''Guillain–Barré syndrome''' (GBS), sometimes '''Landry's paralysis''' or '''Guillain–Barré–Strohl''' syndrome is a syndrome that causes weakness of the feet and hands. Guillain–Barré syndrome is rare, at 1–2 cases per 100,000 people annually, but is the most common cause of acute non-trauma-related paralysis. The syndrome is named after the French physicians [[Georges Guillain]] and [[Jean Alexandre Barré]], who described it in [[1916]]. {{Biology-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Guillain-Barre syndrome}} [[Category:Syndromes]]
