A 17-year-old boy died of a suspected case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome in Kolkata, as multiple cases of the autoimmune disease were reported across the country in the past few days.
The Class 12 student from West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district died on Monday morning due to septic shock and myocarditis, with doctors suspecting that GBS may have been the underlying condition.
In view of the situation, the Health Department held a high-level meeting on Thursday, instructing all government and district hospitals in the state to promptly report any cases of GBS to the department. Hospitals were also directed to ensure the availability of necessary treatments, including plasma therapy, ventilation support systems, and intravenous immunoglobulin injections, and to maintain adequate infrastructure for these therapies.
