GBS (Guillain-Barré Syndrome) & Acute Flaccid Paralysis Specialist in Chandanagar

At Preetham Neuro Centre, we specialize in the rapid diagnosis and intensive management of rare, life-threatening neurological emergencies. Led by Dr. Preetham Reddy (MD JIPMER, DM Neurology NIMS), our state-of-the-art facility is equipped to treat complex disorders like Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) with world-class medical innovations.

Understanding Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

GBS is a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system, often triggered by a recent respiratory or gastrointestinal infection.
  • Symptoms: Rapidly progressing weakness and tingling starting in the legs, which can lead to total paralysis affecting breathing and vital functions.
  • Expert Treatment: Under the guidance of Dr. Preetham Reddy, we provide advanced life-saving therapies including Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and Plasmapheresis (Plasma Exchange) to remove harmful antibodies and accelerate recovery.

Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) & Muscle Weakness 

Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) is the sudden onset of weakness or loss of muscle tone in one or more limbs. It requires immediate neurological intervention to identify the underlying cause, whether it is viral (Enterovirus, West Nile), autoimmune (GBS), or toxic (Botulism).
Why Trust Dr. Preetham Reddy for Paralysis Care?
With 13+ years of clinical excellence and elite training from NIMS and JIPMER, Dr. Reddy offers the diagnostic precision required for these critical cases. Serving Chandanagar, Madinaguda, BHEL, and Hyderabad, we provide:
  • Urgent Neurological Evaluation: Fast-track diagnosis for sudden weakness.
  • Advanced Diagnostics: In-house NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) and Lumbar Puncture for CSF analysis.
  • Comprehensive Neuro-Rehabilitation: Personalized physical therapy to restore motor function post-recovery.

Acute flaccid paralysis

Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is a sudden onset of weakness or loss of muscle tone in one or more limbs. AFP can be caused by a variety of conditions, including viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and toxins. One of the most common causes of AFP is poliovirus, which can lead to a condition known as poliomyelitis. Other viruses that can cause AFP include enteroviruses, West Nile virus, and Zika virus.
AFP can also be caused by non-viral factors such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the nerves, and botulism, which is caused by the toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.

The Role of NCS in Diagnosing Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

At Preetham Neuro Centre, we use Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) studies as the gold standard for the rapid diagnosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Because GBS is a medical emergency that can lead to rapid paralysis, an early and accurate NCV test is critical for starting life-saving treatments like IVIG or Plasmapheresis.
 
How NCV Confirms GBS?
While clinical symptoms like ascending weakness are primary indicators, an NCV test allows Dr. Preetham Reddy (DM Neurology, NIMS) to see exactly how the nerves are performing. In GBS cases, NCV helps identify:
  • Demyelination: Slowing of electrical signals due to damage to the nerve’s protective coating.
  • Conduction Block: Areas where the nerve signal is completely stopped, confirming the severity of the autoimmune attack.
  • Axonal Damage: Identifying if the core of the nerve is affected, which helps in predicting recovery time.
Why Choose Dr. Preetham Reddy for GBS Diagnosis in Chandanagar?
Interpreting an NCV report in an acute GBS case requires high-level expertise. As a NIMS-trained Neurologist, Dr. Reddy provides the diagnostic precision needed to differentiate GBS from other forms of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP). We offer fast-track NCV testing for patients in Chandanagar, Madinaguda, and BHEL, Nallagandla,Tellapur, Beeramguda to ensure no time is lost in starting treatment.
