Notes:
Summary In a small pilot study of plasmapheresis in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis, two patients suffered relapses following an acute allergic reaction to plasma. It is suggested that allergic reactions may have played a role in the exacerbation and recommended that fresh frozen plasma be avoided in therapeutic trials for multiple sclerosis.
