The combination therapy protocol of plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulins and betamethasone. Oral betamethasone was daily scheduled at diagnosis until the delivery date. Plasmepheresis sessions were performed daily at onset for the first 2 days, and thereafter weekly until the delivery date. IVIG infusions was prescribed fortnightly soon after plasmapheresis. Low dose aspirin (100 mg/day) was administered to minimize the IVIG’s thrombophilia side effects.
