Abstract
Careful attention to symptomatic treatment, with monitoring of vital signs, tube feeding and ventilatory support if necessary has led to an improvement in prognosis. GBS also appears to be ameliorated by immune modulating treatments such as plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulins. Corticosteroids have not been shown to confer any benefit.
