HYDERABAD, February 11: The number of deaths linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in Telangana has been on the rise, raising concerns among health officials and the public. Reports indicate that several patients suffering from GBS, a rare neurological disorder, have succumbed to complications in recent weeks.
GBS is known to cause muscle weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. While the exact cause remains unclear, medical experts believe it is often triggered by viral or bacterial infections. In Telangana, the recent surge in cases and fatalities has prompted discussions on the need for improved diagnosis and treatment facilities.
Health authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have urged hospitals to remain vigilant in identifying symptoms early. Medical experts stress that timely intervention can improve survival rates, but a lack of awareness and late diagnosis remain major challenges.
The state government is yet to issue an official statement regarding the measures being taken to address the situation. Meanwhile, families of affected patients are demanding urgent medical attention and better healthcare support.
