Abstract:
To explore clinical characteristics, electrophysiological findings and treatment response in diabetic patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (DM-CIDP). Thirty-six CIDP patients were identified, 10 were DM-CIDP and 26 were non-DM-CIDP. Clinical medical records, electrophysiological data and treatment were retrospectively reviewed. DM-CIDP patients were significantly older than non-DM-CIDP patients [(56.7±10.0) years old vs. (40.4±16.9) years old, P=0.001]. However, clinical characteristics and abnormalities of electrophysiological tests in both groups were comparable. DM-CIDP subjects responded to corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin, thus with better prognosis.
