There is evidence that SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 virus, is related as a predisposing factor or as a trigger with direct demyelinating pathophysiology in Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). Objective: To describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of patients with Guillain- Barre syndrome and COVID-19. Methods: Systematic review-type secondary research without meta-analysis (n=106), selected from 88 articles, where the clinical-epidemiological data were extracted, generating a database, percentages, averages, minimum and maximum values were calculated for the preparation of tables. Results: It occurred mainly in men, in patients with an average age of 52.94 years, it occurred within the first 10 days in 45.28%, the form of ascending presentation was the most common with 63.21%, as well as the AIDP variant in 55.66%, 29.25% required mechanical ventilation, with the most common comorbid...

Objective: To evaluate the influence of high altitude on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in adults with abdominal visceral adiposity. Materials and methods: A quantitative study with quasi-experimental design, which included twenty-four (24) male medical students from the National University of Trujillo, selected by non-probability convenience sampling and study subject, evaluated at 0 and 4,386 m.a.s.l., and classified according to their degree of abdominal visceral adiposity: normal (G1) and high (G2). Results: The CRP level of G1 in relation to G2 showed no significant difference. Regarding CRP levels, Wilcoxon rank-sum (non-parametric) test was used for G2 and Student´s t-test was used for G1, with significance being shown in both cases. Conclusions: Variations on CRP levels in high altitude compared to sea level in both groups were significant.
