✦ Synopsis

The mixed haemagglutination technique was used to demonstrate IgG antibodies to peripheral nerve tissue in sera from patients with the Guillain-Barré syndrome. The clinical effect and the effect on the antibodies of plasma exchange were examined in 18 patients. Neurological examination with muscle testing and neurophysiological examination of the patients were performed before and immediately after plasma exchange. Before the exchange antibodies were detected in sera from 11 of the patients. These patients showed clinical improvement during the treatment. After plasma exchange, antibodies were detected in sera from only two of the patients. The seven patients without detectable antibodies showed no clinical improvement.

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
