Abstract：
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE:The albumin-cytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) supports the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) but does not support the prognosis, so the aim of this study is to determine the usefulness of protein numbers in the CSF to predict progression in paediatric patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A diagnostic test was performed in paediatric patients with GBS, analysing sociodemographic, clinical and protein variables in CSF as well as electromyography. The presence of dysautonomia was also documented. RESULTS:Data were analysed from 23 patients, predominantly males (87%), school age (43.5%) and history of digestive infection (73.9%). Using the ROC curve, an area under the curve of 0.966 with best CSF protein cut-off point of 87-92 proteins/mm was found for the presence of dysautonomias and to evaluate the poor response to treatment with 0.969 intravenous immunoglobulin with better cut-off point in 157 proteins/mm. CONCLUSION:The amount of proteins in the CSF can be used as a prognostic indicator and severity, such that proteins greater than 100 in CSF translate into a torpid evolution and with greater complications.
