Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and antiperipheral nerve myelin antibody (A-PNM Ab) titers were measured serially in 29 patients with Guillain-Barr6 syndrome (GBS), of whom 21 were treated with plasmapheresis. Data were obtained from 3 to 6 days until 1 to 2 years after onset of symptoms. Within 3 to
To clarify the question of whether Guillain-Barre ´syndrome (GBS) patients treated with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) relapse at a higher frequency than those treated with plasma exchange (PE), 54 patients with GBS were studied retrospectively. A higher frequency of relapses was noted in the PE
Acute Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a demyelinating polyneuropathy which responds readily to plasma exchange (PEX). According to the North American Acute GBS PEX study there is a 50% or more reduction in the recovery time if PEX is initiated early in the course of the disease. Demyelinating antib
