Disulfiram neuropathy.

G Moddel, J M Bilbao, D Payne

    Archives of Neurology

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Disulfiram, used to treat alcoholism, can cause a distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Symptoms in one patient improved after discontinuing the medication, suggesting disulfiram-induced axonopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Toxicology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Disulfiram is a medication primarily used to deter the consumption of alcohol.
    • Sensorimotor polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder affecting peripheral nerves.

    Observation:

    • A 35-year-old male patient developed symptoms of distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy.
    • The patient had been taking disulfiram (500 mg daily) for five months.
    • Symptoms showed improvement after the cessation of disulfiram therapy.

    Findings:

    • Clinical, electrophysiological, and pathological data indicate a distal axonopathy.
    • The findings suggest disulfiram is the causative agent for the observed neuropathy.
    • The neuropathy demonstrated a distal pattern, affecting the furthest nerve endings.

    Implications:

    • Disulfiram can induce peripheral neuropathy, specifically a distal axonopathy.
    • Awareness of this potential side effect is crucial for clinicians prescribing disulfiram.
    • Further research may elucidate the precise mechanism of disulfiram-induced nerve damage.
