GBS typically involves demyelination and presents in both upper and lower limbs. While there is no clear evidence to date associating the SARS-CoV-2 virus with GBS, other viral infections, such as influenza and the Epstein-Barr virus, have been linked to GBS. The association is based on the idea that there can be molecular mimicry between certain viral proteins and the gangliosides and other proteins on the peripheral nerves. This can result in an ‘innocent bystander attack’ against the myelin sheath or axon of the peripheral nerve [70]. GBS is a complex disorder and has been recognized as a para-infectious neurological disease, and has associations with the Zika virus that were documented during the 2015–2016 Zika epidemic [90].
