Abnormal sweating and “skin flushing” as possible predictive factor for treatment related fluctuations in Guillain-Barré syndrome: a case series and a review of the literature

Treatment related fluctuations (TRFs) in Guillain-Barr é Syndrome (GBS) are described as one or more episodes of deterioration manifesting within two months after disease onset and following an initial improvement or stabilisation after treatment. They may be encountered in 8% to 16% of patients, but currently predictive factors of TRF occurrence and s everity are poorly known. To this end, we evaluated the frequency and clinical features of TRFs in a cohort of GBS patients admitted to the Neurological unit of Sant'Andrea Hospital (La Spezia, Italy) from January 1st, 2003 to December 31st, 2017.
