title: [Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: report of 15 cases].
abstract: 15 patients with CIDP (8 men, 7 women) at the age of 39-65 have been observed. The duration of the disease varied from 1 to 9 years. The authors have used in diagnostics the WHO's criteria as well as standards of needle and stimulative electro-neuromyography (ENMG). CIDP was shown in the study to occur more frequently after 50 with male prevalence. ENMG revealed 8 patients with compromised myelin and 7 patients with combined myelin and axon abnormalities, 3 patients with nerve impulse block conduction. The following variants of CIDP were distinguished: motor-sensor--7; motor-autonomic--3; pure motor--2; multifocal mononeuropathy with conduction blocks.
