  ABSTRACT: The authors evaluated epidermal nerve density (END) and thermal thresholds in 18 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). END of patients with CIDP were lower than those of controls (4.5 +/- 2.9 vs 10.5 +/- 3.9 fibers/mm, p < 0.001). Reduced END were associated with autonomic symptoms. Thermal thresholds of patients with CIDP were elevated (88.2% for warm stimuli and 70.6% for cold stimuli). Patients with CIDP have small-fiber sensory and autonomic neuropathies.

  ABSTRACT: The authors describe two patients with acute sensory ataxic neuropathy. Both had a profound loss of proprioception and generalized areflexia. High titers of monospecific anti-GD1b IgG antibody were detected in their sera during the acute phase. Sensory ataxia resolved within 2 weeks after the onset. Taken together with the induction of experimental sensory ataxic neuropathy sensitized with GD1b ganglioside, GD1b may be a target molecule for autoantibody in some patients with acute sensory ataxic neuropathy.
