Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Mycoplasma Pneumonia

Mycoplasma pneumonia is a contagious respiratory disease that can spread easily via contact with respiratory fluids. Guillain-Barre syndrome can be a complication of this condition. Mycoplasma pneumonia might cause damages to many body areas, such as kidneys, skin, heart, and especially the peripheral nervous system, which triggers the syndrome. It is difficult to diagnose this health issue early as there are few signs. When mycoplasma pneumonia progresses, laboratory and imaging tests might be needed to detect. Antibiotics, both intravenous and oral, are often the first line of treatment for the condition. Young children and older adults are at higher risk of developing this disease. [9]
