title: Landry-Guillain-Barre-Strohl syndrome in pregnancy.
abstract: We report here a case of Landry-Guillain-Barre-Strohl syndrome (LGBSs) in pregnancy. The patient had rubella viral infection, and the patient's inspiratory ability rapidly weakened. In the end, aggressive plasmapheresis prevented the need for respiratory support and the inherent risk it poses in terms of maternal morbidity and mortality.
