Exchange transfusion as an alternative therapy for recurrent severe Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Abstract:

:Recurrent Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a rare condition. IVIg and plasmapheresis are costly therapies and may not be affordable. We report a 6-yr-old boy in whom two severe episodes of Guillain-Barre Syndrome were successfully treated by exchange transfusion. Possible explanation for its effectiveness is discussed with respect to available literature.
