Resumen
Introducción

El síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) es un padecimiento inmunológico poco común que afecta a los nervios periféricos, la causa no es del todo conocida, pero está asociada a infecciones por virus o bacterias.

Presentación del caso

Reportamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 23 años de edad, estudiante del área de la salud, que 24 horas posteriores a recibir la segunda dosis de la vacuna COVID BNT162b2 mRNA (Pfizer-Biontech) presentó debilidad proximal de extremidad superior derecha, posteriormente en la izquierda con progresión descendente y distal.

Discusión

En general se han publicado casos de SGB relacionados a las vacunas contra COVID-19 siendo la más común la BNT162b2 que es de mRNA, también hay casos publicados posteriores a la vacuna AZD1222 (ChAdOx1) que es de vector viral no replicante. Se calcula que la incidencia de SGB en 0.43 por cada 100,00 dosis aplicadas, por debajo de la incidencia nacional registrada de 1.1-1.8 por cada 100,000 habitantes al año.

Conclusiones

Es importante mencionar que si bien se puede presentar SGB posterior a la vacunación contra COVID-19, esta incidencia es mucho menor a lo presentado en la comunidad en México asociado a otros padecimientos, considerándose más común la presencia de casos relacionados a padecimientos infecciosos gastrointestinales.

Abstract
Introduction

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare immune disorder that affects peripheral nerves and the cause is not known completely, but it is associated with infections by viruses or bacteria.

Case report

We report the case of a 23-year-old male patient, a health student, who start 24 hours after received the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, with proximal weakness of the right upper limb, later in the left side with descending and distal progression.

Discussion

GBS cases related to COVID-19 vaccines have been published, the most common being BNT162b2, which is mRNA, there are also cases published after the AZD1222 (ChAdOx1) vaccine, which is a non-replicating viral vector. The incidence of GBS is estimated at 0.43 per 100.00 doses applied, under registered national incidence of 1.1-1.8 per 100,000 persons per year.

Conclusions

It is important to mention that although GBS can occur after vaccination against COVID-19, this incidence is much lower than which occurs in the community in Mexico associated with other diseases, considering more common the presence of cases related to infectious gastrointestinal diseases.
