Chandigarh: Doctors at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali successfully treated a 63-year-old man diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves, leading to weakness and paralysis. The life-saving treatment was led by Dr. Sawan Kumar Verma, associate director neurology at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali and his team.
The 63-years patient from Patran in Punjab was brought to the emergency of Max with rapidly progressing weakness in his limbs. He initially developed weakness in both lower limbs, which then progressed to involve the upper limbs over a duration of 5–7 days. Within the next few days, his condition had worsened to the point where he could barely stand or move independently.
After a detailed neurological evaluation and diagnostic tests, Dr. Verma and his team diagnosed GBS.
The patient was immediately started on immunoglobulin therapy according to his body weight, administered over 5 days from the day of his admission. This immunotherapy was aimed at halting the immune system’s attack on the nerves and promoting recovery.
Dr. Sawan Kumar Verma said, “GBS is a challenging condition where early recognition and prompt treatment can make all the difference. In Satpal’s case, our goal was to stop the disease's progression quickly and support his body’s natural healing process.”
Following comprehensive treatment and physiotherapy support, Satpal has now returned to his normal life, a heartening outcome for both the patient and the medical team.
