Post-infectious Inflammatory Motor-Predominant Neuropathy Following Mycoplasma Infection
We present a case of a 37-year-old gentleman diagnosed with post-infectious Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) secondary to a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. This case highlights the subclinical presentation of neurological symptoms, often overlooked as a complication of M. pneumoniae infection. The patient exhibited significant neurological deficits following initial respiratory symptoms, demonstrating the need for awareness of these potential extrapulmonary complications in clinical practice.
