Weakness of the Legs

 History

A 48-year-old man presents to the emergency department with weakness of his legs. Four weeks earlier he had symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. Four days before admission he had a feeling that there was something wrong in his feet, and 3 days before admission he started to develop some difficulty in walking. Now he says that he is hardly able to move his legs below his knees. Both feet have also become painful over the last day or so. His bowels and bladder are functioning normally. He has no significant past medical history. He neither smokes nor drinks alcohol and is taking no medication.
