[Diabetes ketoacidosis associated with Guillan-Barré syndrome].
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a disorder caused by exaggerated immune response to infectious process. Diabetes Melito (DM) is not recognized as one cause of this inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy with just a few cases of this association been described in the literature so far. We report here the case of a 44 years-old female patient admitted with a history of polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, asthenia, hyperglycemia (562 mg/dL) and ketoacidosis without any infectious focus. The patient progressed with poliradiculopathy, respiratory insufficiency and liquoric alteration completing the picture of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The patient fully recovered from the neurologic deficit and then stopped with insulin therapy.
