Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies begin to attack the myelin sheath of nerve cells.. Its damage leads to the fact that the patient partially loses control over the muscles in the limbs, and in severe cases, problems arise in the work of the respiratory muscles.. The exact causes of Guillain-Barre syndrome are not yet known, but in most cases it occurs after various bacterial and viral infections.. A year ago, doctors discovered the first full evidence that it can occur after infection with the coronavirus that causes COVID-19..

This syndrome may also be one of the side effects of pembrolizumab (Keytruda), a cancer immunotherapy drug, and the Johnson \u0026 Johnson COVID-19 vaccine..
