Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder being mediated by immunocomplexs and autoantibodies and INF-Alpha is the key mediator. Among neurological manifestations Guillian barre syndrome (GBS) is one of the rare presentation. We described a 35 year female who developed acute onset progressive ascending quadriparesis with tingling and numbness of bilateral lower limb. NCS showed acute motor sensory axonal polyneuropthy. The patient had diffuse non scarring alopecia with anaemia with proteinuria and both ANA and anti –dsDNA were reactive. The patient improved with pulse dose of methylprednisolone and i.v immunoglobin (2gm/kg body weight) and discharged with hydroxychloroquinie and low dose of prednisolone.
