سابقه و هدف: سندرم گيلن باره يك اختلال اتوايميون است كه واجد يافتههاي متفاوت باليني و پاتولوژيك است و تشخيص آن بر اساس يافتههاي باليني استوار است. در اين مطالعه به بررسي مشخصات باليني و آزمايشگاهي مبتلايان به اين بيماري در منطقهاي از شمال ايران پرداخته شده است.
مواد و روشها: در اين مطالعه توصيفي تحليلي ده ساله، پرونده كودكان زير 15 سال مراجعهكننده به يك مركز ارجاع سطح 3 در شمال ايران كه با تشخيص سندرم گيلنباره بستري شده بودند، بررسي شد. خصوصيات دموگرافيك، باليني، آزمايشگاهي، بررسيهاي الكتروفيزيولوژيك، سير بيماري و درمانهاي انجام شده، ثبت شد.
يافتهها: در طي اين بررسي 37 مورد بيمار گيلن باره وارد مطالعه شدند. ميانه سن 4 سال با صدك 25 و 75 درصد به ترتيب 5/2 و 7 سال بود. تعداد پسران 27 (73 درصد) نفر و از دختران بيشتر بود (0/005=P). ميانه سن پسران (4 سال) از دختران (7 سال) كمتر بود (0/034=P). در زمستان 35/1 درصد، پاييز 29/7 درصد، بهار 18/9 درصد و در تابستان 16/2 درصد از موارد بيماري ثبت شد (0/05

Background and purpose: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder that has
different clinical and pathologic findings. Its diagnosis is based on clinical findings. This study aimed at
investigating the characteristics of the disease in a region in north of Iran.
Materials and methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, the records (2008-2018) of children
under the age of 15 years old admitted to a third level referral center due to GBS were studied. Demographic
and clinical findings, laboratory, electrophysiological, medical history, and treatment records were investigated.
Results: During this period, 37 cases of GBS were admitted. There were 27 (73%) boys (P= 0.005).
The median age was lower in boys (4 years) than girls (7 years) (P=0.034). Of these cases, 35.1% were
recorded in winter, 29.7% in autumn, 18.9% in spring, and 16.2% in summer (P>0.05). The most common
underlying conditions were upper airway infections (59.46%, n=22), followed by diarrhea (24.3%, n=9).
Among the cases, there were 54.1% afebrile. The most common neurological findings were muscle weakness
(97.3%), limping (75.7%), and ataxia (37.8%). The most common forms of the disease were demyelinating
(64.9%), motion-sensory-axonal (21.6%), and motion-axonal (13.5%). In those with demyelinating type, 79%
recovered completely.
Conclusion: In our study, boys were admitted more often than girls due to GBS, and the age of onset
was lower in boys. The demyelinating form of the disease was the most common form which was associated
with best neurological prognosis.
