Abstract

"A 30-year-old man was admitted due to decreased mentality. He was diagnosed as a diabetic ketoacidosis by hyper-glycemia, metabolic acidosis, and positive urinary ketone bodies. Two weeks later, despite the improved state of ketoacidosis, he complained of dysphagia, quadriparesis, and respiratory difficulty. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed albumino-cytologic dissociation. Nerve conduction study revealed axonal motor neuropathy. His neurological deficit was rapidly improved by intravenous immunoglobulin. We report a case of Guillain-Barre syndrome just after a ketoacidosis.Key Words : Guillain-Barre syndrome, Diabetic ketoacidosis ketoacidosis, he complained of dysphagia, quadriparesis, and respiratory difficulty.
