From initial suspicion to accurate diagnosis: unmasking rabies in a case of suspected Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Background: Rabies is a fatal viral infection with clinical presentation that can mimic other neurological disorders, such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Both conditions can present in early stages with same signs, including muscle weakness and paralysis, leading to diagnostic confusion. In this case report, we present a patient residing in Palestine who was initially diagnosed with GBS but was later found to have rabies.

Hyperreflexia and Preserved Reflexes in Pediatric Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the most prevalent cause of acute flaccid paralysis, often following an antecedent illness such as upper respiratory infections. Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), a subtype of GBS, predominantly affects motor axons, resulting in significant motor impairment, and is frequently associated with infection. We present a case of a three-year-old female patient who developed AMAN, a subtype of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).

Vaccines Attitudes, Concerns, and Information Sources Reported by Parents of Young Children among North Palestinian Parents.

Parental acceptance of routine childhood immunization is critical to protecting children's health, as high vaccination-coverage rates lead to decreased rates of vaccine-preventable diseases. However, to communicate effectively with parents about vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases, it is necessary to assess their vaccine-related attitudes and concerns continually. Recently the Palestine Ministry of Health has recorded epidemics of measles and mumps.
