Exploring the link between adenovirus infection and Guillain-Barré syndrome in children: a case-based analysis

In conclusion, while GBS is a well-established complication of several viral infections, including adenovirus, the association between adenovirus and GBS remains relatively underexplored. Our case reports, along with a review of the literature, highlight the rare but plausible link between adenovirus infection and the development of GBS. Although adenovirus infections are common, the occurrence of GBS following these infections appears to be uncommon, suggesting that additional factors may be at play. However, given the potential severity of GBS and the growing body of evidence, it is important for clinicians to remain vigilant for this rare complication in patients with a history of adenovirus infection.
