  • Title: [Plasmapheresis and hormone therapy in severe forms of Guillain-Barré syndrome].
    Author: Levchenko NI, Piradov MA, Pirogov VN.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1989 Dec; 67(12):88-91. PubMed ID: 2560799.
    Abstract:
    Patients with severe Guillain-Barre syndrome were entered into 2 groups: group I was treated with hormones alone, group II with hormones plus plasmapheresis. The results were not significantly different. In view of recognized effectiveness of plasmapheresis for treatment of the syndrome, corticosteroid addition is inappropriate.
