title: Immunologically induced peripheral neuropathies.
abstract: In summary, the immune peripheral neuropathies constitute a heterogeneous group of clinicopathologic syndromes. Their exact causation is variable and frequently unclear, but often a satisfying pathophysiologic mechanism is revealed only by thorough electrophysiologic, morphologic, and immunologic analysis.
