The history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) dates back to 1859, when French physician Jean Landry first documented what he described as “ascending paralysis” (later termed Landry paralysis). In 1916, neurologists Guillain, Barré, and Strohl observed World War I soldiers with mysterious paralysis and elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein levels. Though all three contributed, later references omitted Strohl’s name, despite his role in the discovery.
