Pune: A health official claimed that the number of suspected and confirmed Gullain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) cases in Maharashtra has risen to 207 after two new cases were discovered.

With the addition of two more cases on Friday, the total number of verified cases now stands at 180, with 20 on ventilator support, according to an official.

Meanwhile, though the official death toll remained unchanged at eight as per the state health department, a suspected fatality from the ailment was reported from Kolhapur.

A district health official said a 60-year-old woman from Changid tehsil there died on February 13.

"She suffered paralysis of the lower limbs and was first admitted in a hospital in Changid and then taken to neighbouring Karnataka. She was brought back to a hospital in Kolhapur on February 11, where she died two days later," the official said.

GBS is a rare condition in which a person's immune system attacks the peripheral nerves, resulting in muscle weakness, loss of sensation in the legs and/or arms, and problems swallowing or breathing.
