A rare acute neurological disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. Guillain-Barre syndrome
GBS
primarily destroys the myelin that covers the peripheral nerves, causing the nerve signals to slow down.

GBS is often preceded by a bacterial or viral infection and can occur early in the course of HIV infection.
