A Rare Presentation of Leptospirosis: Dysarthria and Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

Leptospirosis can present with severe cases such as polymyositis, peripheral neuropathy, and rarely, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). This paper reports a case who presented with dysarthria and GBS. A female patient presented with complaints of weakness, dizziness, diarrhea, and dysarthric. Her assessments included muscle strength globally 4/5 and deep tendon reflexes as hypoactive. An electromyographic examination was performed with the increase of weakness in the lower extremities, which indicated findings compatible with GBS. Antibodies against serovar Patoc 1 at 1/400 titer were detected in the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Neurological involvement in leptospirosis cases can range from meningoencephalitis to GBS.
