Casos clínicos de los síndromes de Guillain-Barré y Miller-Fisher relacionados con la COVID-19 / Clinical cases of Guillain-Barré and Miller-Fisher syndromes linked to COVID-19
Resumen
Resumen
Introducción: la enfermedad por coronavirus del 2019 (COVID-19), causada por el nuevo coronavirus SARSCoV-2, se ha asociado con el desarrollo de enfermedades neurológicas como el síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) y sus variantes. En el presente trabajo se reportan dos casos de síndromes desmielizantes asociados con la COVID-19.
Casos clínicos: hombre de 53 años con SGB y mujer de 29 años con la variante del síndrome de Miller-Fisher (SMF), respectivamente. Ambos presentaron los signos y síntomas neurológicos clásicos de polineuropatía desmielinizante que caracterizan a estos síndromes. De las pruebas bioquímicas paraclínicas, el aumento de proteínas en líquido cefalorraquídeo fue distintiva. La positividad de la RT-qPCR para el SARS-CoV-2 indicó la asociación de los SGB y SMF con la COVID-19. Ambos pacientes se trataron con inmunoglobulina intravenosa y mostraron mejoría. La electromiografía realizada en semanas posteriores aún mostraba afectación desmielinizante crónica.
Conclusión: los casos de los SGB y SMF, junto con otros casos similares reportados en todo el mundo, proporcionan más evidencia para el SARS-CoV-2 como nueva posible etiología de estas raras enfermedades neurológicas.
Abstract
Background: coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been associated with the development of neurological diseases such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and its variants. In the present work, two cases of demyelinating syndromes associated with COVID-19 are reported.
Clinical cases: 53-year-old male with GBS and and 29-yearold female with Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) variant, respectively. Both patients presented the classic neurological signs and symptoms of demyelinating polyneuropathy that characterizes the syndromes. From the paraclinical biochemical tests, the increase of proteins in cerebrospinal fluid was distinctive. The positivity of the RT-qPCR for SARSCoV-2 suggested the association of GBS and MFS with COVID-19. Both patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin showing improvement. Electromyography performed weeks ahead still showed chronic demyelinating involvement.
Conclusion: The cases of GBS and MFS, along with other similar cases reported around the world, provide further evidence for SARS-CoV-2 as a new possible etiology of these rare neurological diseases.
