title: Immune complex levels and plasmapheresis in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
abstract: Circulating IC levels were assayed serially in 12 G.B.S. patients treated with PE and an attempt was made to predict the outcome of treatment, from the levels of circulating IC. It was found that there was no significant correlation between the levels of circulating IC and the outcome of treatment with PE, in G.B.S. patients.
