Treatment of the Guillain-Barré syndrome by plasma exchange

C Kennard et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1982 Sep.

Abstract

Twelve consecutive patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome were treated with plasma exchange. Examination two weeks after treatment was commenced showed that three had not improved. Five showed only a minimal improvement, which was considered to be compatible with the natural history of the disease. The remaining four patients showed a more substantial improvement which could have been related to the plasma exchange.
