Abstract

Objective: To analyze Guillain-Barré syndrome from a documentary review for diagnostic and therapeutic updating. Method: Descriptive documentary review. Conclusion: The first line treatment for Guillain-Barré syndrome is intravenous gamma globulin at a dose of 0.4g/kg for 5 days due to its effectiveness and minimal adverse effects. Plasmapheresis is indicated when treatment with intravenous gamma globulin proves to be ineffective or contraindicated, the combination of both treatments has not shown benefits compared to their individual use, except in severe cases with respiratory failure.
