Evidence-based guideline update: Plasmapheresis in neurologic disorders .

Final sentence

"There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of plasmapheresis for myasthenia gravis, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus infection, and Sydenham chorea (Class III evidence, Level U)."

 

Is this statement anything new?

No, but the interesting part is "...or refute..." what does THAT mean- that it should be left up to the care provider to decide! Like treatment in general should be left up to the care provider not these stupid insurance companies.
