Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shengqiang
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) may be triggered by bacterial infections, such as Zika virus infection affecting the respiratory system. It can also occur following vaccination, although surgical procedures and trauma—such as nerve compression or injury during surgery—are other potential contributing factors. Typical symptoms of GBS include respiratory difficulty and muscle weakness.
