Neuro-Immunology Infusions & Plasmapheresis Treatment in Mumbai
When the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system, the consequences can be devastating , sudden paralysis, loss of vision, inability to swallow, or rapid cognitive decline. These are not rare events. Autoimmune neurological conditions are frequently misdiagnosed and undertreated.
At Shree Hospitals, our neuro-immunology infusions in Mumbai programme delivers precise, protocol-driven immunotherapy , including intravenous immunoglobulin, monoclonal antibody infusions, and plasmapheresis , administered by specialists who understand both the neurology and the immunology driving each condition.

Quick facts
Type & Duration: Intravenous immunoglobulin infusion, monoclonal antibody therapy, or plasmapheresis depending on diagnosis
Duration of Procedure: IVIG — 4 to 6 hours per session over 3 to 5 days; Plasmapheresis — 2 to 4 hours per session over 5 to 7 sessions
Recovery Time: Outpatient or short inpatient stay depending on clinical severity and treatment type
Type of Anesthesia: No anaesthesia required; procedure performed under nursing supervision with physician oversight
Key Benefit: Rapidly modulates immune attack on nervous system; reverses or stabilises neurological deficits in acute and chronic autoimmune conditions
What Is Neuro Immunology Infusions Plasmapheresis?
The nervous system and immune system are in constant dialogue. In autoimmune neurological disorders, this dialogue breaks down , the immune system generates antibodies or inflammatory cells that target myelin, nerve axons, neuromuscular junctions, or brain tissue itself. The resulting conditions include multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, myasthenia gravis, autoimmune encephalitis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
IVIG treatment for neurological disorders Mumbai India — intravenous immunoglobulin , works by flooding the system with pooled human antibodies that neutralise the pathological immune response, modulate inflammatory signalling, and protect nervous tissue from further damage. It is fast-acting, well-tolerated, and effective across a broad range of neuroimmunological diagnoses.
Plasmapheresis — also called therapeutic plasma exchange — takes a different approach. It physically removes the patient's plasma, which contains the harmful antibodies, and replaces it with donor plasma or albumin solution. This rapidly clears circulating pathological antibodies from the bloodstream, often producing neurological improvement within days. Together, immunotherapy infusion for autoimmune neurology Mumbai and plasmapheresis form the backbone of acute and maintenance neuroimmunological care at Shree Hospitals, supported by a full diagnostic workup including autoimmune antibody panels and CSF analysis.
When Should You Consider Neuro-Immunology Infusion Treatment?
-
Infusion therapy is indicated for:
- Acute relapse of multiple sclerosis or NMOSD
- Myasthenia gravis — generalised weakness or myasthenic crisis
- Autoimmune encephalitis with behavioural or cognitive change
- Guillain-Barré syndrome — ascending paralysis
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
- Autoimmune cerebellar ataxia
- Stiff person syndrome and related conditions
Is This Treatment Right for You?
-
Neuroimmunology infusion therapy is considered when:
- Autoimmune aetiology confirmed through antibody testing or clinical criteria
- Acute neurological deterioration requires rapid immune modulation
- Oral immunosuppressants have not adequately controlled disease activity
- Patient requires bridge therapy before long-term immunosuppression takes effect
- Diagnosis falls within established IVIG or plasmapheresis indication guidelines
- Renal function, venous access, and haemodynamic status support safe infusion
Why Does Immunotherapy Work When Standard Treatments Fail?
- Targets the underlying immune mechanism — not just symptoms
- Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy produces measurable improvement within 48 to 72 hours in acute cases
- Plasmapheresis removes pathological antibodies directly from circulation
- Prevents irreversible axonal damage from prolonged immune attack
- Enables earlier mobilisation and rehabilitation in acute paralysis cases
- Maintenance infusion schedules prevent relapse and disease progression
Neuro-immunology infusion therapy helps manage autoimmune neurological conditions by directly targeting the underlying immune response.
At Shree Hospitals, our specialists provide closely monitored infusion and plasmapheresis protocols in a comfortable clinical setting, supporting faster symptom control and long-term disease management.

Neuro Immunology Neurology Treatments at Shree Hospitals
Beyond infusion therapy and plasmapheresis, Shree Hospitals offers the complete spectrum of neuroimmunological care , from first diagnosis through acute management and long-term disease modification. Every treatment pathway is evidence-based, individually tailored, and monitored through structured follow-up.
Multiple Sclerosis Disease-Modifying Therapy
On arrival, a designated stroke nurse performs the NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) assessment. Blood pressure, blood glucose, and oxygen saturation are measured simultaneously. No time is lost to administrative processes — clinical evaluation runs in parallel.
Neuromyelitis Optica (NMOSD) Management
Autoimmune Encephalitis Management
The attending neurologist confirms diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke, verifies symptom onset time, reviews contraindications, and obtains informed consent from the patient or family. Blood tests including INR, platelet count, and glucose are reviewed before drug administration.
Patient Questions About Neuro Immunology Infusions
What are the Benefits of IVIG and Plasmapheresis in Neurological Conditions?
IVIG and plasmapheresis are effective treatments for several autoimmune neurological disorders. They help reduce harmful immune activity, relieve symptoms, improve muscle strength and nerve function, and may speed recovery during disease flare-ups. These therapies can also help prevent further neurological damage and improve quality of life.
What are the Risks and Side Effects of Infusion Therapy?
Common side effects include headache, fatigue, nausea, fever, chills, and infusion-related reactions. Plasmapheresis may cause low blood pressure, bleeding, or infection risks. Serious complications are uncommon, and patients are closely monitored throughout treatment to ensure safety and manage any adverse effects promptly.
What Should You Ask During Your Neuroimmunology Consultation?
Ask about your diagnosis, the purpose of IVIG or plasmapheresis, expected benefits, potential side effects, treatment duration, and monitoring requirements. It is also helpful to discuss alternative therapies, long-term management plans, and what improvements or symptoms to expect during recovery.
How Long Does It Take to See Improvement After Infusion Treatment?
The timeline for improvement varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients notice symptom relief within days, while others may require several weeks to experience significant benefits. Your neurologist will monitor your response and determine whether additional treatment sessions are needed.
