Resumo: In 10 cases of acute Guillain-Barré syndrome selection adsorption (SEA) of immunoglobulins was performed with IM TR350 columns (Asahi Medical, Japan). During this therapy the symptoms of 8 patients were reduced. Side effects were moderate and not specific for SEA. The columns removed large amounts of immunoglobulins, but also eliminated other plasma components.
