Abstract

3,4-Diaminopyridine was administered to 6 patients with inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies in whom partial conduction block was demonstrable. Four had Guillain-Barré syndrome and 2 had chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy. Nerve conduction studies were performed before the administration of a single oral dose of 3,4-diaminopyridine, and at regular intervals thereafter. Neither resolution of conduction block nor clinical benefit were seen.
