Axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with celiac disease.

O 30: Peripheral Nervous System Diseases and Inflammation

Inflammatory neuropathies may be due to infection (with a specific casual agent identified) including Lyme disease, HIV, Leprosy, Herpes Zoster, Hepatitis B & C. The other group of are Autoimmune or possibly infectious (but with no specific causal infectious agent identified) including sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome/ acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( AIDP), chronic in...

A case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy presented with unilateral ptosis

  Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is an autoimmune disease with progressive and relapsing courses. The main clinical presentations are diffuse deep tendon hyporeflexia or areflexia and symmetric proximal-distal muscles weakness. Myasthenia gravis is also an immune mediated disease with fluctuating ocular and bulbar symptoms and sometimes weakness. Although both myasthenia grav...

Subclinical Axonal Neuropathy at Onset of Celiac Disease in a Pediatric Cohort

Celiac disease (CD) is a multifactorial enteropathy induced by the ingestion of gluten in susceptible individuals. It’s widely accepted that CD is an immune-mediated enteropathy and clinical manifestations range from typical signs or symptoms of intestinal malabsorption to atypical cases with scarce gastro-intestinal symptoms and extra-intestinal manifestations. Several neurological syndromes h...

Differential Distribution of HLA-DQ /DR Epitopes in the Two Forms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy and Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP): Identification of DQ Epitopes Associated with Susceptibility to and Protection from AIDP

Risk of Neuropathy Among 28,232 Patients With Biopsy-Verified Celiac Disease.

IMPORTANCE Earlier research on celiac disease (CD) and neuropathy has been hampered by the use of inpatient data, low study power, and lack of neuropathic characteristics. OBJECTIVE To examine the relative risk and absolute risk of developing neuropathy in a nationwide population-based sample of patients with biopsy-verified CD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Between October 27, 2006, an...
