Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with carcinoma.

چکیده
The association of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and carcinoma has rarely been reported and its relevance is debated. Thirty three consecutive patients with probable or definite CIDP (idiopathic or associated with M protein) were investigated. Three patients with definite CIDP had a concomitant carcinoma. One had an IgM paraprotein. Steroids and intravenous immunoglobulins were effective.

متن کاملO20: NK Cells as Surrogate Marker for Predicting Treatment Efficacy in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
Natural Killer (NK) cells are part of our innate immune system with regulatory and effector functions. Different studies suggest that treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) has an immunomodulatory effect on NK cells. IVIg is a first-line treatment for various autoimmune diseases in particular in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The lack of predictive markers ...

We report a patient with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) accompanied by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Due to the remarkable weakness in the lower limbs and loss of the position sense, he could not walk. On neurophysiological examination, he had impaired nerve conduction velocities. Biopsied nerve and muscle specimens demonstrated demyelination of nerve fibers and neur...
