Mumbai City has seen a surge in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), a rare Autoimmune Nerve Disorder. Doctors suspect a link to viral infections, as most patients developed GBS soon after recovering from a viral or gastrointestinal infection. The rise in cases is estimated to be 30-50% higher than usual during the monsoon season. While there have been no fatalities, hospitals have reported a significant increase in outpatient cases and admissions. The severity of GBS cases seems to be more pronounced in younger patients, with some requiring ventilatory support. Further research is needed to understand the connection between GBS and viral infections.
