[Clinical aspects and therapy of Landry's paralysis].
On the basis of an analysis of 56 acute cases of polyneuritis of the Landry type treated in a period of 15 years at a neuropsychiatric intensive care unit, an attempt is made to establish relations between spinal fluid findings, kind of the course of the disease, rate of development of paralyses and the prognosis. According to the results of the examinations, the spinal-fluid findings cannot be attributed a prognostic significance. It appears, however, remarkable that the group of patients with a high rate of spreading of the pareses showed both the highest mortality and full remission rates. On the basis of own experiences and compilation of intensive medical literature, the most frequent complications of the disease and its therapy problems are dealt with.
