This article, published in the journal Neuropediatrics, discusses the use of therapeutic apheresis (TA) in pediatric patients with acute neurological disorders. The study, conducted at the Hannover Medical School, analyzed data on the clinical course of 31 patients who received TA between 2016 and 2023. The patients had various diagnoses, including autoimmune encephalitis, transverse myelitis, ADEM, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and others. The study found that both plasmapheresis and immunoadsorption were effective and safe in improving the patients' conditions. However, further controlled studies are needed to determine the potential superiority of either method. [Extracted from the article]
