Abstract:

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a public health event of global concern, and the disability rate of delayed encephalopathy is 10% to 30% among surviving patients. However, relatively little attention has been given to its symptoms of complicated nerve root and peripheral nerve injuries. Although the incidence of Guillain‒Barré syndrome (GBS) is low, the disease progresses rapidly, and the prognosis is poor. There are still many inducing factors that have not been found; "poisoning" is relatively rare; GBS induced by carbon monoxide poisoning has not been reported abroad at present; and the diagnosis and treatment process are more likely to be missed or misdiagnosed. This document reviews the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with GBS induced by carbon monoxide poisoning and reviews the relevant literature, hoping to determine the possibility of GBS complications or "poisoning" in the diagnosis and treatment of GBS in clinical work and avoid missed diagnoses or misdiagnoses.
