DOUBLE FILTRATION PLASMAPHERESIS (DFPP) IN A PATIENT WITH WEST NILE VIRUS ENCEPHALITIS (WNE)
Abstract:
Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) is a plasma filtration technique, the indications of
the method overlapping theoretically over the conventional therapeutic plasmapheresis indications. The
advantages of the method consist in the fact that it is not necessary to administer human albumin or
PCC as substitution, or the amounts administered are very small. We used the method in the
pathogenetic treatment of a patient, aged 59 years, diagnosed with West Nile virus encephalitis.
