Disulfiram neuropathy.

B Mokri, A Ohnishi, P J Dyck

    Neurology
    |June 1, 1981

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Disulfiram treatment can cause sensorimotor polyneuropathy in patients. This nerve damage appears reversible upon discontinuing the medication, suggesting a dose-related effect.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Toxicology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Disulfiram is a medication used to manage chronic alcoholism.
    • Neurological side effects of medications require careful monitoring.

    Observation:

    • Four patients developed sensorimotor polyneuropathy during disulfiram therapy.
    • Symptoms improved after disulfiram treatment was stopped.

    Findings:

    • Disulfiram-induced neuropathy is likely an axonal polyneuropathy.
    • The condition appears to be reversible and potentially dose-dependent.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider disulfiram as a potential cause of neuropathy.
    • Further research into the mechanism and dose-response relationship is warranted.
