Neurologist Pavel Khoroshev said that the spread of the Omicron coronavirus strain has led to an increase in cases of an acute autoimmune disease of Guillain-Barré syndrome. It is reported by URA.RU.

“The most unpleasant thing is Guillain-Barre. This is the most annoying thing that can happen. This is when a person has a mass polyneuropathy, autoimmune. The body begins to perceive cell axons (neurite, along which nerve impulses travel from the cell body (soma) to the innervated organs and other nerve cells) as its enemies. She attacks them, destroys them. And they are trying to recover, that is, the immune system attacks the nerve cells, ”said the neurologist.

He stressed that before the pandemic, the syndrome was detected in extremely rare cases. Khoroshev stressed that now the disease began to be determined ten times more.

Earlier, British epidemiologists reported the emergence of a new mutated strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Elements were found in the virus that are present both in the "omicron" strain and in the "delta" strain, in connection with which it was called "deltacron".
