In the article “The Evaluation of Polyneuropathies” by Burns et al.,1 legend for figure 1 should say that “blue font indicates predominantly axonal polyneuropathies.” The authors regret error.

This study was undertaken to determine whether anti-GM1 titres are raised in polyneuropathies of unknown origin and whether determination of these titres is useful for diagnosing these conditions. The study population comprised 20 controls (aged 36-88 years), 12 patients with polyneuropathies of known origin (aged 31-81 years) and 15 patients with polyneuropathies of unknown origin (aged 40-77 ...

Only a few studies have been reported describing polyneuropathies in a series of children. To study the clinical and neurophysiological spectrum of polyneuropathies in a large series of children and obtain an overview of their etiologies, this retrospective study reevaluated all electromyograms and electrophysiologic studies performed between 1995 and 2004 in children under 17 years of age at t...

INTRODUCTION In this investigation we studied clinical and laboratory features of polyneuropathies in patients with serum IgM binding to the trisulfated disaccharide IdoA2S-GlcNS-6S (TS-HDS). METHODS We retrospectively compared 58 patients with selective IgM binding to TS-HDS to 41 consecutive patients with polyneuropathies without TS-HDS binding. RESULTS Patients with IgM vs. TS-HDS common...

Inflammatory and immune-mediated polyneuropathies represent an important differential diagnosis of hereditary and acquired polyneuropathies. In this article, we will provide you with all the relevant facts concerning the GuillainBarré syndrome, the Miller-Fisher syndrome, and the Elsberg syndrome. Also, we will cover the chronic-inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal mo...
