Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease involving the intestine, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system. UC and GBS can be caused by immune system abnormalities and can co-exist. To date, there are 7 reported cases of GBS in patients with UC. However, only one patient developed UC after GBS treatment. We report a rare case of UC that appeared after intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for GBS. This case report and literature review will allow accurate and prompt diagnosis of co-existent GBS and UC.
溃疡性结肠炎(UC)是一种累及肠道的慢性复发性炎症性疾病,而吉兰 - 巴雷综合征(GBS)是由免疫系统损害周围神经系统引起的急性起病的肌肉无力。UC和GBS可由免疫系统异常引起,且可能共存。迄今为止,已有7例UC患者并发GBS的报道。然而,仅有1例患者在GBS治疗后发生UC。我们报告1例罕见的GBS患者在静脉注射免疫球蛋白治疗后出现UC的病例。本病例报告及文献复习将有助于准确、及时地诊断GBS与UC并存的情况。
