Immunological monitoring of a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome successfully treated with plasma exchange.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Changes in in vitro platelet quality parameters during platelet storage are associated with a decrease of in vivo platelet viability after platelet transfusion. Many attempts have been made to identify the most predictable in vitro parameters for in vivo performance. We used a riboflavin-based...
