It was first reported by Landry in 1859 as a case study of 10 patients with ascending paralysis. Later the characteristic features of the disease like [[flaccid paralysis]], [[areflexia]] and [[CSF]] findings were reported by Guillain, Barré, and Strohl. The syndrome was later named Guillain-Barré syndrome after these physicians.
The disease was first described by the French physician [[Jean Landry (physician)|Jean Landry]] in 1859. In 1916, [[Georges Guillain]], [[Jean Alexandre Barré]] and Andre Strohl diagnosed two soldiers with motor weakness, [[areflexia]] and a the key diagnostic abnormality of increased [[spinal fluid]] [[protein]] production, but normal cell count. Later, it was called Guillain-Barré syndrome after them. GBS is also known as [[acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy]], acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, French Polio and Landry's ascending paralysis.
