- Infectious Inflammation
Inflammatory neuropathies are a heterogeneous group of autoimmune disorders that affect the peripheral nervous system. This condition affects people of all ages and is characterized by a burning sensation, tingling, and numbness in the affected area, especially in the legs and extremities. According to reports, some patients exhibit muscle weakness, a common motor symptom. This condition is uncommon, but it is known to result in persistent disability in the majority of patients.
Acute or chronic classifications are available for inflammatory neuropathies. The acute form of inflammatory neuropathy reaches its lowest point in precisely four weeks, while the chronic form takes nearly eight weeks. A common example of acute inflammatory neuropathy is acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP). The condition is categorized as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Researchers have made significant progress in deciphering the pathomechanisms of these disorders, which they hope will aid in the future development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
