Pune, Maharashtra – Health officials in Pune are continuing to manage a significant number of severe Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) cases, with a notable strain on intensive care unit (ICU) resources. According to recent reports from the Pune health department, a substantial number of patients remain in critical condition.
Specifically, reports indicate that 16 GBS patients are still requiring intensive care, and of those, 10 are currently on ventilator support. This highlights the severity of the condition and the critical care needed for these patients.
GBS, a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system damages nerve cells, can lead to muscle weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. The need for prolonged ICU stays and ventilator support underscores the challenges healthcare providers face in treating these patients.
Health officials are closely monitoring the situation and ensuring that patients receive the necessary care. Medical professionals are working diligently to provide the best possible treatment and support to those affected.
The health department has also been working on identifying the possible causes of this outbreak, and taking steps to prevent further infections.
This situation has caused the hospitals in the Pune region to be under high pressure, and the medical staff are working hard to care for all of the patients.
