title: [Use of plasmapheresis in the treatment of Guillain-Barre acute polyradiculoneuritis].
abstract: Retrospective study on 23 GBP in-patients was undertaken in an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of plasmapheresis used in 8 cases: all patients were treated with corticoids. Evaluation methods and criteria for the choice of patients are discussed. Plasmapheresis appeared no better than other therapeutic methods currently in use, including support methods.
