Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare neurological disease. Definitive therapy is not yet established. We report our use of intravenous Immunoglobulin (iv IgG) in two cases of CIDP and review the therapeutic options available. Intravenous IgG is a ubiquitous practical treatment particularly in patients who do not respond to steroids and where a rapid response is req...

Touch MEdical MEdia 47 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a leading cause of peripheral neuropathy.1–3 A distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP), is the most common manifestation,4 and is considered to be mainly due to axonal degeneration and progressive loss of nerve fibers.5–7 However, focal and multifocal peripheral nerve lesions, comprising cranial, thoracoabdominal, and limb nerve lesion...
متن کاملChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with membranous glomerulonephritis: case report.
A case of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) with Membranous Glomerulonephritis (MGN) is reported. This is the second case recorded in the literature and the article compares this case with the other reported case, including immunological implications.
متن کاملChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nervous system with a prevalence of 1-2/100,000. Clinical and experimental findings suggest a role of immune pathomechanisms;however, the target antigens are still unknown. Beside classic CIDP with symmetrical proximal and distal paresis, subgroups of CIDP with pure motor or sensory...
متن کاملMembrane properties in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Threshold tracking was used to compare excitability properties (stimulus-response curves, strength-duration properties, recovery cycle and threshold electrotonus) of the median nerve in 11 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and 25 healthy controls. Stimulus-response curves were significantly different: threshold was much higher, the slope of the curves reduce...
