Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing the whole body.
Late Shrestha’s last rites will be performed at Pashupati Aryaghat today itself, according to family sources.
