What is another word for Acute Inflammatory Polyneuropathies?
Pronunciation: [ɐkjˈuːt ɪnflˈamətəɹˌi pˌɒlɪnjuːɹˈɒpəθɪz] (IPA) 
Acute Inflammatory Polyneuropathies, also known as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), are a group of rare autoimmune disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system. These conditions involve the inflammation of multiple nerves and can lead to progressive muscle weakness, paralysis, and potentially life-threatening complications. While the term "Acute Inflammatory Polyneuropathies" accurately describes the condition, it is commonly referred to as GBS. Although GBS is the most recognized synonym, other terms like acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) and infectious polyneuritis are also used interchangeably. Regardless of the terminology, early recognition and appropriate medical intervention are crucial for managing and treating these disorders effectively.
