Abstract
We reviewed results of immunotherapy in patients with demyelinating mo tor neuropathy (DMN), and found that patients over 50 years of age at onset responded poorly, and younger patients responded variably to int ervention. We suggest that patients with DMN be given a guarded progno sis, particularly if >50 years of age at onset. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
