ResumoThe primary hepatotropic viruses are associated with various extrahepatic manifestations including peripheral nervous system disorders. The pathogenesis of these complications is not clear-cut. Patients with confirmed liver damage coexisting with peripheral nervous system manifestations, especially Guillain-Barré syndrome, mononeuropathy, mononeuropathy multiplex and polyneuropathy should be screened for the viral hepatitis in the differential diagnosis. There are no defined strategies of treatment for these manifestations, so the therapy should be individualized. The purpose of this review is to discuss the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of the neuropathies in the course of primary hepatotropic viral infections such as hepatitis A, B, C and E viruses.
