Resumo: | Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a sub-acute poliradiculoneuropathy, potentially fatal. Plasma pheresis (PF) and recently Intravenous Immuno globulin (IvIG) are the therapies of choice, resulting in significant clinicai improvement. ln this retrospective study, 46 patients with a diagnosis of GBS were analysed. Three groups of patients were considered. One (18 patients) treated with PF, a second one (13 patients) with IvIG anda third one (15 patients) received only the best medical treatment (MT). According to the funcional score, 38,4% of patients improved one or mores grades with PF, 61,5% with IvIG and 46,6% with MT. Three patients died, one in the PF group and the others two in the MT group and none in the IvIG. A significant percentage of patients treated with IvIG was discharged with minor signs and symptoms (69,2%), versus 22,2% and 33,3% in the PF and MT groups respectively. This study shows a high favourable response to IvIG. The worst results in the PF group might have been due to a more severe disease and a higher incidence of bad prognostic factors, at the beginning of the treatment. |

A plasmaferese (PF) e, mais recentemente, a Imunoglobulina endovenosa (IgIV), são as terapêuticas disponíveis, com resultados comprova dos na melhoria clínica dos doentes. Neste estudo retrospectivo, foram considerados três grupos de doentes. Um grupo de 18 doentes foi tratado com PF, outro (13 doentes) com IgIV e finalmente um terceiro grupo (15 doentes), que recebeu unicamente o melhor tratamento médico disponível (TM). Dos doentes tratados com PF, 38,4% melhoraram um ou mais graus na escala funcional, 61,5% melhoraram no grupo tratado com IgIV e 46,6% no grupo que recebeu tratamento médico. Três doentes faleceram, um no grupo da PF e os outros dois no grupo que recebeu tratamento médico. Nenhum doente faleceu no grupo tratado com IgIV. Uma percentagem significativa de doentes tratados com IgIV tiveram alta com sinais mínimos (69,2%), contra 22,2% e 33,3%, respectivamente nos grupos tratados com PF e TM. Este estudo mostra uma resposta altamente favorável ao tratamento com IgIV. O pior resultado verificado no grupo tratado com PF pode ter sido devido a um estádio de doença mais avançado e a uma maior incidência de factores de mau prognóstico no início do tratamento.Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna1999-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/2066Internal Medicine; Vol. 6 No. 3 (1999): Julho/ Setembro; 152-156Medicina Interna; Vol. 6 N.º 3 (1999): Julho/ Setembro; 152-1562183-99800872-671Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/2066https://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/2066/1452Negrão, LuísSantos, J.
