Open Access
|Aug 2022

Abstract

Neurological complication following Sinopharm vaccination is extremely rare and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is among the least common complication. Here we report a case of a 62-year-old male with GBS secondary to Sinopharm vaccination. A diagnosed patient with schizophrenia presented with three-day history of lower limb weakness with preceding sensation of numbness. Nerve conduction study was suggestive of GBS, and lumbar puncture shows cytoprotein dissociation. He was managed with IV immunoglobulin and supportive management and drastic improvement was noted. The patient made an uneventful recovery with full muscle power.
