The authors conclude that TPE is an effective treatment for severe CNS inflammatory demyelinating events that are not responsive to steroids and that the overall frequency of adverse events associated with therapy is low
The authors analyzed a total of 78 children with confirmed acute CNS episodes who were treated with TPE
