Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the case of a 58-year-old man with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who developed acute quadriparesis during the post-operative period following bilateral lung transplantation after receiving cyclosporine for immunosuppression. Electromyography with nerve conduction study and cerebrospinal fluid analysis supported a diagnosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which improved upon the discontinuation of cyclosporine, replacement with tacrolimus, and initiation of plasmapheresis. We propose the discontinuation of cyclosporine and initiation of plasmapheresis as a treatment for cyclosporine-associated Guillain-Barré syndrome. |
