  • Title: Treatment of the Guillain-Barré syndrome by plasma exchange.
    Author: Kennard C, Newland AC, Ridley A.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1982 Sep; 45(9):847-50. PubMed ID: 7131022.
    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.
