Abstract

Acute myositis and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) occurring together in a single patient is a rare clinical phenomenon that poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This article discusses the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of these two neuromuscular disorders. The simultaneous occurrence of infectious myositis and GBS is uncommon, and the identification of Enterococcus as the causative agent is even rarer. In this report, we describe a case involving a middle-aged female who presents with both acute infectious myositis and GBS.
