These include acute neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or tick-borne encephalitis. The importance of careful medical history and repeated clinical evaluation to avoid misdiagnosis can be lifesaving. Our case highlights the typical warning signs.PMID:35856369 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202207_29202
