Four patients with severe form of trichinellosis were treated with plasmapheresis. We noticed clinical improvement and favourable alterations in laboratory profiles (morphology and immune response parameters in the bood). The effect of plasmapheresis therapy in patients with trichinellosis was considered beneficial. No major complications of plasmapheresis were observed.
