Management of severe pediatric Guillain-Barré syndrome in a low-income country: efficacy and safety of therapeutic plasma exchange in pediatric patients: a retrospective study

TPE shows promise in treating pediatric GBS. In this study, TPE was associated with the recovery of neurological functions, yielding positive outcomes with only minimal residual deficits. However, balancing its benefits with potential risks requires careful clinical judgment and rigorous monitoring to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes. TPE was a more cost-effective and accessible option than IVIG in this financially restricted, low-income setting.
