E Nolfo, V Wright-Browne, M Therrien, A Ardolino and Z Macinski
Department of Internal Medicine, St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT.

Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome complicated by ascending polyneuropathy in a 40-year-old woman is described. High-dose intravenous steroids had no beneficial effect on the clinical course. Dramatic and rapid clinical improvement occurred with the use of plasmapheresis. The use of this therapeutic modality should be considered in patients with a similar clinical presentation.
