Recently, more than 100 cases of Guilan Barry Syndrome (GBS) have been reported in Maharashtra, in which a patient has died in Pune. AIIMS professor Dr. Sujata Sharma said that people do not need to be afraid of this disease, but it is necessary to get treatment immediately if symptoms appear. Dr. Sujata, who has faced the disease herself, clarified that it is not an infectious disease.

Health experts consider this condition to be a medical emergency, which demands immediate treatment, otherwise there may be a risk of life.
