@entity4216 multiplex associated with acute XXXX infection: characteristics, treatment and outcome.

@entity1 @entity32 @entity697 @entity1910 @entity1333 @entity8344 @entity16 @entity128 @entity4125 @entity7255 @entity1897 @entity74 @entity4216
To describe the characteristics of @entity1897 related to acute @entity8344 ( @entity8344 V) infection. We reviewed clinical, electrophysiological and histological data of three @entity1 with @entity1897 and positive @entity8344 V detection (IgG, IgM and PCR) compatible with @entity697 . The @entity16 fulfilled criteria for @entity4216 ( @entity4216 ). It could be preceded by or concurrent with a limited @entity4125 , but systemic manifestations were absent. The first neurological symptoms were always sensory and localized in a hand. @entity16 was initially limited to a restricted sensory part of a nerve trunk territory. The course was subacute with successive and asymmetric @entity128 . Electromyographic study confirmed the diagnosis of @entity4216 with multifocal asymmetric sensory and motor axonal loss in two @entity1 , whereas the @entity16 was purely sensory and limited to two nerves in the other @entity1 . Nerve biopsies showed no evidence of @entity1333 but, in one @entity1 , revealed a lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate evocative of @entity7255 secondary to an infectious agent. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) was systematically administered. Long-term outcome was good but with incomplete sensory recovery and, for one @entity1 , persistence of a functional disability. @entity8344  V infection should be considered in the etiological assessment of @entity4216 , especially in the event of a progressive @entity74 in the hands and a concomitant history of @entity1910 . IVIg may be an effective treatment for this @entity32 .
