From the Paper:

"There is currently no cure for the syndrome but with early detection, the condition is often reversible although it can at times be life threatening. Because an exact cause is not known, modern theory suggests that GBS is an autoimmune disorder that may occur from viral infections, surgery, trauma, or some reaction to immunization (s). However, because immune-mediated disorders such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome lead to peripheral neuropathies, it is logical to understand the pathophysiology of that process."
