abstract：:We reviewed results of immunotherapy in patients with demyelinating motor neuropathy (DMN), and found that patients over 50 years of age at onset responded poorly, and younger patients responded variably to intervention. We suggest that patients with DMN be given a guarded prognosis, particularly if >50 years of age a...
