title: [Polyneuritis in periarteritis nodosa].
abstract: The authors observed 16 patients suffering from nodular periarteritis with the polyneuritis syndrome. The development and clinical characteristics of polyneuritis due to nodular periarteritis were studied, its course and outcome were also recorded. Some data helpful for recognizing the etiology of polyneuritis are presented. It is demonstrated that when multiple modality treatment (with corticosteroids as a component) is initiated at the early stages of disease, some patients exhibit prolonged remission of nodular periarteritis, including notable regression of polyneuritis manifestations.
