Resumo: Muscle weakness evolving rapidly over hours to days demands prompt diagnosis and proper treatment to prevent life-threatening respiratory insufficiency. Such weakness usually results from disease affecting some portion of the motor unit, such as poliomyelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, botulism, and dyskalemic myopathy. The differential diagnosis of these processes is discussed.
