Guillain Barre Syndrome

pena dgr??? guillain barre syndrome or GBS ni uncommun disorder yg mana our immune system attack our own nerves.

macammana nak kesan??? fes2 thing nak kesan d presence of dis condition ialah apb part of our body yg kte gune d most jd lemah n less functional n sometimes not responding as they should..sensation nih blh spread to cause kelumpuhan..hohoh..bahaya tuh!!!

mechanism die simple kot..it's essentially an autoimmune disorder..body's defense (immune) system mistakenly attacks part of the nervous system and this leads to nerve inflammation that causes muscle weaknesses..(spiking abeh haih..nampak beno kopi pasta..haha..)

GBS nih die bukan brain death so person yg ad GBS xnyanyuk..die jz attack those nerves outside d brain n spinal cord; namely PNS so GBS patient akan mengalami progressive systemic paralysis, muscle weakness n

loss of reflex so dia org tak boleh balance body movement dia org..huh..takut kan?

luckily phase ni sementara saje. 80% patient with GBS recoveres months or years afta d attack. ngeri kan? kalau jadik kat mak korg camne??? tapi doktor kata GBS nih secondary infection; dpt jz bila pesakit yang already ada penyakit or baru lps undergone surgery, kene attack dgn virus or bacteria.

once d virus or bacteria infect d body of patients with particular disease, they'll mimick d appearance of nerve cells so once antibody kita produced dia org tak dapat recognize mana satu nerve asli n mana satu nerve palsu so dia org jz destroy everything. this is y doktor ckp GBS nih adlh autoimmune disease; sbb antibody kita attack/destroy it's own nerve. 

ape la kan? macam ni pun ada. kita doakan semua pesakit GBS recover soon..amin.
