Guillain-Barré Syndrome after Thrombolysis with Streptokinase

الملخص EN

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an eponym for a heterogeneous group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies.

We describe a case of GBS in a patient who recieved intravenous streptokinase therapy for acute anterior myocardial infarction.

Clinical symptoms are thought to result from streptokinase-antibody complex mediated damage to the local blood-nerve barrier.

Patient was treated with 5-days course of intravenous gammaglobulin and his outcome was good.
