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.

Abstract

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.
