[2012 literature review on peripheral neuropathies: immune neuropathies (treatments excluded)].
In 2012, interest remains high in the field of dysimmune neuropathies, chiefly concerning Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The pathophysiological mechanisms are now better known but electrophysiological criteria should be updated. The risk of GBS in H1N1 vaccination is now well evaluated. Nerve ultrasonography provides new prospects for diagnosis and follow-up of dysimmune neuropathies but cannot substitute for electrophysiology. This paper aims to present some noteworthy articles published in 2012 in the field of dysimmune neuropathies.
