Methods: Ambispective study of 15 months\u2019 duration involving children with Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome aged 1 month to 18 years at a tertiary care pediatric hospital. They were categorized into groups A and B based on COVID-19 serology testing. Hughes Disability Scale was used for disability assessment. Modified Rankin scale was used for improvement assessment in follow-up. Results: Of 19 children with Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome, 9 (47%) were females and 10 (53%) were males. Groups A and B had children with negative (8) and positive serology (11), respectively. The most common presentation in both groups was motor weakness. Post-COVID pediatric Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome presented with variants of Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome rather than the classical form ( P\u2009=\u2009.03). In group B, patients with elevated inflammatory markers had poor response to intravenous immunoglobulin, and 5 of 11 patients had good response to pulse steroids, probably depicting an inflammation-predominant pathology. Conclusion: Post-COVID Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome in children presented with Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome variants rather than the classic form. Neuroimaging is of great value in both confirming Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome diagnosis and excluding differentials. Patients with elevated inflammatory markers and residual weakness may be given a pulse steroid trial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08830738231184089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]],"date-time":"2023-06-27T02:11:12Z","timestamp":1687831872000},"page":"407-413","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Clinical
