A study of the course of 17 patients with subacute polyneuritis was undertaken. Ten were given corticosteroids. Assessment of time of turnaround, that is the beginning of clinical improvement, showed that some patients responded promptly to steroids whereas a few did not. A comparison of turnaround times between the treated and untreated cases shows a statistically significant effect of steroids in hastening the onset of recovery. This is not due to bias in selection of those for steroid treatment.
