Demyelinating Leprosy Neuropathy: An Unusual and Misleading Electrophysiological Pattern
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Peripheral neuropathy, especially mononeuropathy multiplex, is a frequent manifestation of leprosy. Electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) usually show predominant axonal involvement. In this study, we report patients with prominent demyelinating abnormalities consistent with the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating ...
