Early use of high-dose intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIG) and aspirin effectively blocked this deteriorating course of
Thirteen children with severe Guillain-Barré syndrome were treated with human immune globulin. Patients received a mean total dose of 1.9 gm/kg of human immune globulin for 2 or 5 days. To evaluate the relationship between the response to human immune globulin and electrodiagnostic findings, we
