Spectrum of chronic acquired immune neuropathies.
Pak J Neurological Sci Jan ;5(1):6-9.

Objective: To determine the different clinical presentations of patients with acquired immune mediated neuropathies. Methodology: This was a hospital based prospective study over a period of 2 years in a series of patients with electrophysiological evidence of chronic acquired immune neuropathies. Results: Males out-numbered females by 7 (19 vs 12). Majority of patients with chronic acquired immune neuropathies were found to have typical symmetric sensorimotor pattern with variable involvement of proximal and distal muscles. The sensory pattern was the next common pattern followed by asymmetric pattern consistent with madsaM neuropathy. Conclusion: Because immune mediated neuropathies are potentially treatable entities, it is essential to keep in mind their unusual presentations besides the typical symmetric pattern of weakness of limb girdle muscles.
