We report our use of intravenous Immunoglobulin (iv IgG) in two cases of CIDP and review the therapeutic options available. Intravenous IgG is a ubiquitous practical treatment particularly in patients who do not respond to steroids and where a rapid response is req...

متن کاملChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nervous system with a prevalence of 1-2/100,000. Clinical and experimental findings suggest a role of immune pathomechanisms;however, the target antigens are still unknown. Beside classic CIDP with symmetrical proximal and distal paresis, subgroups of CIDP with pure motor or sensory...
متن کاملVasculopathy in transthyretin Val30Met familial amyloid polyneuropathy
Background Transthyretin (TTR) Val30Met-associated familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP ATTR Val30Met) is the most common form of FAP and has become prevalent in areas other than conventional endemic foci. The clinicopathological features of FAP ATTR Val30Met are known to vary between endemic foci and non-endemic areas in Japan. Characteristic features of early-onset cases from Japanese endemic...

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, belonging to the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. It is characterized by the deposition of the abnormal isoform of the prion protein (PrP), causing spongiform neurodegeneration. The disease is classically known to mainly affect the gray matter of the CNS. However, involvement of the peripheral ne...
