- Abstract
There is a strong correlation between SARS-CoV-2 and the onset of autoimmune neurological disease with atypical clinical presentation, characterized by limited response to medical therapy, likely caused by the underlying mechanism of the virus itself. In situations like these, after the failure of pharmacological therapy, therapeutic apheresis, including immunoadsorption, can be pursued. Treatments with IMMUSORBA TR-350 columns have proven to be particularly effective in managing refractory forms of post-Covid-19 nephropathies, leading to complete recovery of disability and elimination of neurological signs and symptoms. We discuss the case of a patient with chronic inflammatory polyradiculopathy post-Covid-19, resistant to medical therapy, effectively treated with immunoadsorption., (Copyright by Società Italiana di Nefrologia SIN, Rome,Italy.)
