title: [Dysimmune neuromuscular disorders: diagnostic challenges and new ways of management].
abstract: This review describes some dysimmune neuromuscular disorders and their recent management: syndrome of peripheral nerve hyperexcitability (treatment of cramps, immunosuppressors); Guillain-Barré syndrome (new mechanisms and consensus treatment); chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (new indication for the use of pulse dexamethasone, new scores of activity); importance of subcutaneous immunoglobulin in multifocal motor neuropathy and of infusions of rituximab in myasthenia gravis; new entities in myositis and their treatment.
