The state health department has formed a Rapid Response Team RRT to investigate the sudden surge in this immunological nerve disorder. According to a health department statement, 14 patients affected by GBS are currently on ventilator support. The team includes Dr. Bhalchandra Pradhan, state epidemiologist, and other experts.
Nina Borade, chief of the civic health department, has assured that the Guillain-Barre Syndrome GBS outbreak in Pune will not escalate into an epidemic or pandemic. She explained that bacterial and viral infections typically trigger GBS by weakening the immune system. Most suspected cases are in the 12 to 30 age group, with one year-old patient currently under treatment.
Supportive care, including antibiotics, IV fluids, and treatments for paralysis, is generally sufficient. Borade stated. She also emphasized that the Pune Municipal Corporation PMC has the expertise and preparedness to manage these cases effectively. Details Here. You may also like.
