    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Cinque pazienti affetti da una grave forma di sclerosi multipla cronica progressiva (SMCP) resistente alla terapia steroidea sono stati trattati per sei mesi con IG e.v. ad alto dosaggio associate a plasmaferesi ed azatioprina. Durante il ciclo di trattamento, ben tollerato in tutti i pazienti, si è osservata una apparente riduzione della disabilità, ma l'osservazione clinica a sei mesi ed a un anno non ha confermato questo dato. L'associazione di IG e.v., plasmalinfocitoaferesi ed azatioprina, pur agendo verosimilmente su parte dei meccanismi umorali e cellulari coinvolti nel determinismo della malattia non sembra influenzare l'evoluzione clinica delle forme severe di SMCP.
    Notes: Abstract Five patients with a severe form of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis no longer responsive to steroid therapy were treated for six months with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin associated with plasmalymphocytapheresis and azathioprine. In spite of an apparent initial stabilization of the course of the disease, EDSS assesment after six and twelve months of therapy revealed progressive disability in all patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A patient with a hyperacute hemolytic crisis due to AIHA of the IgG type was treated by combined plasmapheresis and exchange transfusion. A discontinuous flow centrifuge was used. Immediately after the exchange the hemoglobin level rose from 2.6 to 9.8 g/dl. The D. A. T. became weakly positive and the hemolytic crisis subsided. During the days following the exchange the autoantibodies responsible for the hemolytic crisis, switched from IgG 1 and IgG 3 to IgG2 and IgG4. The clinical and laboratory picture stabilized thereafter.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ein Patient mit hyperakuter hämolytischer Krise bei autoimmunhämolytischer Anämie vom IgG-Wärme-Typ wurde durch kombinierte Plasmapherese und Austauschtransfusion behandelt. Direkt nach dem Austausch stieg das Hämoglobin von 2,6 auf 9,8 g/dl. Gleichzeitig war der direkte Coombs-Test nur noch schwach positiv und die hämolytische Krise kam zum Stillstand. In den Tagen nach Austauschtransfusion änderte sich der Typ der Autoantikörper, die die Krise ausgelöst hatten, von zunächst IgG 1 und IgG3 auf anschließend IgG2 und IgG4.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Si ritiene che il possibile effetto “rebound” che consegue alla plasmaferesi sia dovuto all'incremento di anticorpi e/o di immuno-complessi. Per prevenire tale effetto si utilizzano farmaci steroidei e immunosopressori; la linfocitoaferesi è stata applicata in diversi pazienti, ma per non più di 10 sedute. Gli AA. hanno trattato 50 pazienti affetti da miastenia, polimiosite, polineuropatie croniche disimmuni e polineuropatie da immuno-complessi con buoni risultati a distanza in 35 casi; un effetto “rebound” è stato osservato soltanto nei casi in cui non era stato instaurato o era stato interrotto inopportunamente un trattamento immunosoppressivo. In 8 pazienti che erano stati trattati con plasmaferesi associata a soli farmaci steroidei, dopo alcune recidive sintomatologiche della malattia, è stato instaurato uno schema terapeutico che prevedeva cortisonici, immunosopressori e linfocitoaferesi associati alla plasmaferesi: in 7 casi sono state così ottenute delle remissioni di lunga durata. Sulla scorta di tale esperienza clinica si ritiene fondata l'ipotesi di un sinergismo tra plasmaferesi e trattamento immunosoppressivo.
    Notes: Abstract Rebound after plasmapheresis is thought to be due to enhanced antibody and/or immune complex production. To prevent rebound a combination of steroids and immunosuppressive drugs has been used: lymphocytapheresis was employed in most patients, for not more than 10 sessions. 50 patients with myasthenia gravis, inflammatory myopathy, chronic dysimmune polyneuropathy and immune complex polyneuropathy have been treated and longlasting benefits obtained in 35 patients. Rebound effects were observed only when cytotoxic drugs were not given or discontinued too soon. 8 patients who had been treated by plasmapheresis combined with steroids alone, after some recurrences of their disease, were switched to cytotoxic drugs, steroids and lymphocytapheresis combined with plasma exchange: in this group 7 patients eventually gained long lasting remissions. Our clinical experience strongly supports the hypothesis of a synergy between plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive measures.
