Guillain Barré Syndrome in a Multiple Myeloma Patient After the Autologous Transplantation: A Case Report

Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy involving multiple nerve roots and peripheral nerves. The pathogenesis remains incompletely understood, and etiology is unclear. Infections, malignancies, vaccination, and bone marrow transplantation have been accused. Plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin can be used for treatment. Multiple myeloma is a malignant disease characterized by an abnormal proliferation of clonal plasma cells. Chemotherapy and autologous transplantation are primary therapies for multiple myeloma. Herein a case of multiple myeloma developing Guillain-Barre syndrome after autologous transplantation improved by plasmapheresis is presented.
