title: Pathophysiology of immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathies--Part II: Neurology.
abstract: In the second part of this review we deal with the clinical aspects of immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathies. We describe the relationship between pathophysiology and symptoms and discuss the pathophysiology of specific disease entities, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy, anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein neuropathy, and POEMS syndrome.
