“…It would appear that the increasing incidence of GBS during the first month after delivery can be a timedependent phenomenon, i.e., a higher inci dence of GBS that declines quickly within 1 month after delivery. Physiological changes associated with the end of pregnancy as well as confounders, such as drug use during deliv ery, may have constituted risk factors for GBS [10,19,24] postpartum.…”

In this study, we determined the relationship between Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and pregnancy. By taking advantage of several nationwide registers and the availability of personal identification numbers, we calculated person-years for Swedish females aged 15–49 years in the following categories: (1) neither pregnant nor postpartum; (2) pregnant; (3) in the first month postpartum, or (4) in the first 3 months postpartum during 1973–1983. For these women, we determined the corresponding exposure status of hospital-registered GBS cases. Medical records were examined for GBS cases hospitalized during the 2-week period postpartum and 1-month period after the last menstruation. Poisson regression analysis yielded age-adjusted relative risks (RRs) of 0.86 (95% CI 0.40–1.84) for pregnant women, and 1.47 (0.54–3.99) and 2.21 (0.55–8.94) for females during the 3-month and the 30-day period after delivery. The risk for GBS seems to be lower during pregnancy and increases after delivery.

A 30-year-old woman, who had had two episodes of distal dominant sensorimotor disorders in the extremities, developed again sensorimotor involvement in the distal portion of all limbs. She was also found to have hyperhidro-sis, tachycardia and goiter. Neurological and endocrinological examinations led to a diagnosis of coexistence of recurrent polyradiculoneuropathy and hyperthyroidism. Treatment with thiamazole resulted in improvement of the neurological features as well as of hyperthyroidism. The relationship between polyradiculoneuropathy and hyperthyroidism is discussed.

“…Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) shows considerably divergent clinical manifestations, although an immune-mediated mechanismis thought to be the commonunderlying pathology (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Plasma exchange (PE) has been considered the favorable choice for the effective therapeutic procedure ofCIDP (6).…”

Plasma Exchange in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy; Different Beneficial Effects and their Correlation to the Clinical Features.

Wereport 7 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) who showed significant clinical improvement by plasma exchange (PE). Their clinical features were extensively varied but fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for CIDP. The patients could be divided into 2 subgroups based on the mode of effectiveness ofPE; one group consisted of those who once achieved complete remission, but required highly frequent PEs for long-term maintenance of remission and the others were those whoshowedpersistent and complete remission with several sessions ofPE alone. These findings raise issues about the long-term therapeutic goals to be achieved by PE for CIDP patients, particularly on supportive therapy other than PE, as well as the optimization of frequency and duration of PE.
