We present a case of a 37-year-old gentleman diagnosed with post-infectious Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) secondary to a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. This case highlights the subclinical presentation of neurological symptoms, often overlooked as a complication of M. pneumoniae infection. The patient exhibited significant neurological deficits following initial respiratory symptoms, demonstrating the need for awareness of these potential extrapulmonary complications in clinical practice.
我们报告一例37岁男性患者,诊断为感染支原体肺炎继发感染后格林-巴利综合征(GBS)。该病例突出了神经症状的亚临床表现,这常常被忽视作为支原体肺炎感染的一种并发症。患者在最初的呼吸道症状后出现了显著的神经功能缺损,这表明在临床实践中需要认识到这些潜在的肺外并发症。
