title: Tropical neuropathies.
abstract: This article reviews the more common peripheral neuropathies that are restricted to or occur with greater frequency in tropical or subtropical countries. Familiarity with them is desirable for all neurologists so that they can be recognized if they present in temperate countries. Once diagnosed they may require referral for specialist management at a centre for tropical diseases. Together, they constitute an important and variegated group of disorders.
