Treatment-Related Fluctuation in a Case of Guillain-Barré Syndrome after Plasma Exchange

Abstract

A patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome, who improved after initial treatment with plasma exchange, experienced a relapse of two functional grades 16 days after the completion of treatment. Subsequent treatment with a combination of plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulins led to a rapid clinical improvement. The patient experienced complete recovery within 2 months of the treatment.
