A case study highlights a 61-year-old woman who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome linked to Lyme disease, emphasizing the complex diagnostic process when acute inflammatory neuropathy coincides with tick-borne infections. After two weeks of fatigue, she presented with acute lower limb weakness and abnormal neurological findings. Testing revealed features consistent with Guillain-Barré syndrome, leading to a diagnosis of Lyme disease after facial palsy developed. This case underscores the need for vigilance in diagnosing Lyme disease in atypical GBS presentations.
