    Abstract:
    Peripheral polyneuropathies associated with monoclonal IgM gammopathy of undetermined significance often have a progressive course and optimal treatment has not been established. We report on a patient diagnosed with polyneuropathy associated with benign IgM gammopathy, who was successfully treated with antibody-based immunoadsorption only. The neurological symptoms of the patient improved continuously over six months of treatment. Controlled trials should be performed to define this indication for antibody-based immunoadsorption therapy.
