Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy is a relapsing-remitting or chronic progressive demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. We report the case of a patient with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy who experienced relapses on four occasions after experiencing
Neurological complications of Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) are rare, although the occurrence of headache, paresthesias, and transient focal deficits has been reported. We report the case of a patient with a relapsing demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis as an aftermath of C. burnetti
We have recorded three cases of Mediterranean fever harboring peripheral nerve involvement. According to the time of occurrence of the neurological symptoms, the cerebrospinal fluid analysis and electromyographic features, we admit that the peripheral nervous system can be involved in two ways in
This paper reports a case of dengue in a six-year-old female child who suddenly developed excruciating headaches, fever, myalgia and paresis. Laboratory examinations included blood count, platelet count, biochemical tests (BUN, creatinine, aminotransferases, and total bilirubin and bilirubin
Landry Guillain Barr Sthrol Syndrome (LGBS) is an acute autoimmune monophasic and selflimiting polyradiculoneuropathy affecting patients aged 19 to 59 years (1.7/100,000/year) more than below 18 year of age (0.8/100,000/year). Diagnostic criteria require: I. Progressive motor weakness of more than
A 44 year old female presented with fever, muscle aches, rash and a low platelet count. IgM antibody to dengue virus was positive. Two weeks later she developed a flaccid areflexic quadriparesis. Nerve conduction studies showed a predominantly demyelitinating sensory motor polyneuropathy consistent
Guillain-Barre syndrome is a post infectious polyradiculoneuropathy. It is equally prevalent in both the adult and the pediatric populations. Guillain-Barre syndrome following dengue fever is not a classically described entity and has not been reported in children.
BACKGROUND
Q fever is a polymorphic disease, which can induce neurological disturbances. The central nervous system is mainly involved while peripheral neuropathies are rare with less than 15 cases reported in the literature.
METHODS
We report here a case of acute polyradiculoneuritis associated
A 32-year-old man developed a rash on his body and extremities following acute fever of a few days duration, and also noticed pain and spontaneous tingling sensations in his lower extremities. Because severe pneumonia with dyspnea and low arterial blood oxygen concentration were found on
Brucellosis, an endemic zoonosis in Portugal, is a multisystem disease, presenting with neurological manifestations in up to 25% of cases. Neurobrucellosis diagnostic criteria include evidence of central nervous system invasion, either by documenting increased blood-brain barrier permeability that
A 39-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of diplopia, dysphagia, tetraparesis and urinary incontinence which developed six days after fever and general cutaneous rash had appeared. On neurological examination, total ophthalmoplegia, blepharoptosis, facial nerve palsy, bulbar palsy, and
BACKGROUND
Short-term studies suggest that intravenous immunoglobulin might reduce disability caused by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) but long-term effects have not been shown. We aimed to establish whether 10% caprylate-chromatography purified immune globulin
BACKGROUND
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a common inflammatory neuropathy that can be progressive, stepwise progressive, or relapsing and remitting.
OBJECTIVE
To further evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of immune globulin intravenous, 10%
