	Guillain-Barré Syndrome
		This is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves and is characterized by the rapid onset of weakness with paralysis of the legs, arms, breathing muscles and face.
		In acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy cases, macrophage-mediated demyelination and lymphocytic infiltration are common in the biopsies of sural nerves.

	Peripheral neuropathies associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
		Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and polyradiculopathy may occur with otherwise asymptomatic HIV virus infection.
		Acute or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (38%) and mononeuropathy multiplex (29%) are most frequently seen, and usually there is a good prognosis, with the neuropathy resolving spontaneously or with steroids or plasmapheresis.
		The pathogenesis of acute or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and possibly of mononeuropathy multiplex is probably autoimmune.

	Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They may be caused by metabolic diseases such as diabetes, renal failure, deficiency syndromes such as malnutrition and alcoholism, or the effects of toxins or drugs.
		Myelinopathies are due to a primary attack on myelin causing an acute failure of impulse conduction.
		The most common cause is acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP; aka Guillain-Barré syndrome), though other causes include chronic inflammatory demyelinating syndrome (CIDP), genetic metabolic disorders (e.g.

		Myelinopathy is due to primary destruction of myelin or the myelinating Schwann cells, which leaves the axon intact, but causes an acute failure of impulse conduction.

		The most common cause is acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP, better known as Guillain-Barré syndrome), though other causes include chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), genetic metabolic disorders (e.g.

		Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function in the legs and arms.
		The disorder, which is sometimes called chronic relapsing polyneuropathy, is caused by damage to the myelin sheath (the fatty covering that wraps around and protects nerve fibers) of the peripheral nerves.
		CIDP is closely related to Guillain-Barre syndrome and it is considered the chronic counterpart of that acute disease.

		The concepts of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) have changed over the last decade.
		The spectrum of GBS ranges from acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy to pure motor, sensory-motor or bulbar variants and the Miller Fisher syndrome.
		Also CIDP includes different variants in addition to the typical clinical picture with symmetrical proximal and distal weakness, such as a form with predominant distal weakness, a pure sensory form, an asymmetric form and a form with predominant cranial nerve involvement.

		Similar mechanisms are responsible for the increased incidence of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) compared with the HIV-seronegative population.
		Similarly, the presence of pleocytosis in a patient with AIDP warrants consideration of underlying HIV disease.
		The prognosis of HIV-1 associated AIDP and CIDP is similar to that of HIV-seronegative varieties discussed in separate eMedicine articles (Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy).

		Since the advent of polio vaccination, GBS has become the most frequent cause of acute flaccid paralysis throughout the world.
		The pathologic substrate of many cases of GBS is lymphocytic infiltration of the spinal roots and peripheral nerves, with macrophage-mediated demyelination and a variable degree of secondary axonal degeneration.
		As a result, GBS is virtually synonymous with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) (Table 462-1).
