DOMINGUEZ CARRILLO, Luis Gerardo; ALCOCER MALDONADO, José Luis; DOMINGUEZ GASCA, Luis Gerardo y ARELLANO AGUILAR, José Gregorio. Recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.4, pp.554-557. Epub 01-Ago-2022.

Introduction:
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is generally considered monophasic, but recurrences occur in a subgroup of patients with a recurrence rate of 1 to 6%. With the advent of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, reports of GBS have increased, in addition to recurrent GBS.
Clinical case:
46-year-old male, who six years ago presented GBS associated with Campylobacter jejuni, with ad integrum recovery; in the last year he presented a GBS recurrence, but with a difference of being more severe and with a descending character, unlike from the first episode. On both occasions, he was treated by the same medical team, managed in a similar way, achieving a later recovery in the second episode.
Conclusions:
Although there is still controversy in the literature, recurrent GBS occurs in younger people, and the pictures can be more severe in subsequent episodes.
