Abstract
In the analysed group all children developed the paralysis of lower limbs, 38.9% - sphincter and bladder dysfunction, 72% - tetraparesis, 22.2% - respiratory tract insufficiency. Upper respiratory tract infections were the most common preceding GBS. Under performed treatment all children started to walk in first 6 months after GBS but they learned to run and climb the stairs more than one year. The efficiency of upper limbs was coming back faster than the lower limbs, 83% children could dress themselves and carry the heavier objects in half of the year. More than the half of group suffered from the subjective symptoms: limbs pains, hyperesthesia, and fatigability. These signs disappeared in the year after GBS. We reported the late effects of GBS, which were detected in analysed group after 12 month from GBS. There were: slowly running, fatigability, inability of dressing, climbing the stairs, hyperesthesia, tingling hands.
