Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) cases have been reported in the Pune city. The State Health Department has formed a committee of health officials and experts to investigate the cases. According to reports, the committee will try to determine if the patients were affected by a common source or contaminant. They will check water samples and also probe if there's a common link between the affected individuals.?

Dr Neena Borade, chief public health officer at PMC said, "We have collected water samples from the main source at these patients' homes. We are also checking if they had visited a common venue like an event or function where they could've consumed contaminated food or water. As of now, we are not sure what triggered this unusual reporting of cases, which is why we have formed this expert committee."

While the PMC has confirmed 24 cases, doctors say that the number of people affected is likely more than the ones confirmed. Of the cases that have been confirmed, most of them are under the age of 10 years.?
