[Peripheral neuropathies caused by drugs].
Peripheral neuropathy is a common manifestation of chemotherapeutic agents. Most drugs produce a distal axonal degeneration and long axons are predominantly affected, giving a clinical picture characterized by a symmetrical sensory neuropathy. The toxicity of therapeutic agents to the peripheral nervous system particularly includes those used in cancer-chemotherapy (cisplatin, vinca alkaloids), but antimicrobial agents such as isoniazide or nitrofurantoin and vitamin abuse (pyridoxine) are also discussed.
