[Neuromyalgic syndrome in children's infections].
Neuromyalgic syndrome (NMS) is clinically and electroneuromyographically (ENMG) first-ever described in 50 children aged 2-13. Muscular pains and pains along peripheral nerves occur in post-infection period of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI), intestinal and parotitoviral infections with transient (in 3-6 days), dysfunction of peripheral nervous system and muscles. NMS is characterized by predominant involvement of lower limb muscles in pathologic process and by rarely developing generalized form. There are 3 types of changes of nerve conductivity and excitability with conductive blocks absence and disturbances regression that enable to distinguish these dysfunctions from ENMG changes in polyneuropathy. Provoked by infection, transitory non-specific inflammatory muscular reaction and functional disorders of nerve conductivity and excitability may be considered as one of the possible mechanisms of NMS development. More than 20 years of clinical and research experience of in neuroinfections clinic, supports the validity of NMS distinguishing among children acute infections for further diagnostic differentiation with polyneuropathy, viral meningitis and ARVI.
