In one tragic case, a 26-year-old teacher from Nanded City lost her battle with severe GBS, septic shock, and multiple organ failure after displaying symptoms such as diarrhea and difficulty swallowing liquids. Despite receiving treatment at Sahyadri Multispeciality Hospital, her condition continued to worsen, and she eventually passed away at Kashibai Navale Medical College and General Hospital.
Another suspected GBS death involved a 37-year-old man from Daund who suffered from acute flaccid quadriplegia, acute respiratory failure, and a lower respiratory tract infection. Despite receiving IVIG treatment at Sassoon General Hospital, his condition deteriorated, leading to his untimely death.
