Guillain-Barré (Ghee-yaw Bah-ray) Syndrome, also called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and Landry's ascending paralysis, is a disorder of the peripheral nerves, those outside the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves and spinal roots are the major sites of demyelination in GBS patients). It is typically characterized by the rapid onset of muscle weakness and often, paralysis of the legs, arms and breathing muscles. The cause of Guillain-Barre' syndrome is not known; and why the disorder only occurs in certain patients is still not known. Research to date indicates that the nerves of the GBS patient are attacked by the body's own defense system against disease-antibodies and white blood cells

Did you mean Guillian-Barre? If so, it's a neurological process that usually occurs 1-3 weeks after a viral infection or immunization. Pain and weakness will affect the extremities and paralysis may occur. It can be treated with IV immunoglobulins and recovery may take weeks or months.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome affects people post viral infection. It will progress to weakness and paralyzing of extremities, slowly progresses up the body, and could need prolonged hospitalization should it reach the diaphragm. Then for reasons unknown, it regresses back down the body.
