Guillain Barré syndrome and other immune mediated neuropathies: diagnosis and classification.

Autor(es): Eldar Adi Hersalis; Chapman Joab


Resumo: Immune mediated neuropathies are uncommon but important to diagnose because they are potentially treatable. This chapter summarizes the clinical approach to diagnosis of Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), and related neuropathies which are thought to be caused by direct autoimmune attack on peripheral nerves.
