Resumos
Os autores relatam caso grave de síndrome de Guillain-Barré após quadro inicial de varicela em rapaz de 13 anos. Como complicações este paciente desenvolveu quadriplegia flácida com insuficiência respiratória, hipertensão arterial, taquicardia e importante neuropatía sensitiva periférica (disestesia dolorosa). Comenta-se a relação entre quadros virais benignos e o desenvolvimento de polirradiculoneurite aguda, assim como o possível mecanismo imunopatogênico envolvendo fatores humorais e celulares.
