Abstract
- This article explores the use of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) as a treatment for neuroimmunological disorders in children. The study found that TPE was effective and well-tolerated, with a partial response observed in most cases. However, despite positive clinical response, a high rate of neurological sequelae was observed. The article emphasizes the need for further research on the efficacy and safety of TPE in pediatric patients with neurological disorders. It also discusses the use of TPE in specific conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, highlighting the need for more research in these areas as well. Overall, the article suggests that TPE is a promising treatment option but more studies are needed to establish standard therapeutic modalities for pediatric patients. [Extracted from the article]
