We report two cases of limb muscle weakness after coronavirus（COVID-19）infection, which could be saved with the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome（GBS）. We report two cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome （GBS）in70 and 50 year-old men, who developed distal limb weakness 15 and 17 days after the onset of cough and fever, respectively. The patients were intubated and placed on a ventilator in the ICU. Although both high-dose immunoglobulin therapy and simple plasma exchange therapy were performed, the extremities became almost completely paralyzed and the patient was placed on a long-term ventilator. Even though COVID-19 infection is widespread and there is a shortage of hospital beds to treat severe patients, GBS after COVID-19 infection is a serious disease, and it is necessary to secure hospital beds for its treatment.
