Hi,intravenous immunoglobulins is usually used first because of its ease of administration and safety profile, with a total of five daily infusions for a total dose of 2 g/kg body weight (400 mg/kg each day). Therapy is no longer effective 2 weeks after the first motor symptoms appear, so treatment should be instituted as soon as possible,I would trust the patients doctors realize this. Following the acute phase, the patient will usually also need rehabilitation to regain lost functions. Most of the time recovery starts after 4th week from the onset of the disease. Approximately 80% of patients have a complete recovery within a few months to a year, although minor findings may persist, such as lost reflex. About 5–10% recover with severe disability, with most of such cases involving severe proximal motor and sensory axonal damage with inability of axonal regeneration. However, this is a grave disease and despite all improvements in treatment and supportive care, the death rate among patients with this disease is still about 2–3% even in the best intensive care units.
