Scope note: Neuritis inflamatoria aguda de carácter autoinmune ocasionada por una respuesta inmunitaria celular mediada por las células T dirigida contra la mielina periférica. En los nervios periféricos y en las raíces nerviosas se produce desmielinización. El proceso suele estar precedido por una infección vírica o bacteriana, cirugía, inmunización, linfoma o exposición a toxinas. Las manifestaciones clínicas comunes incluyen debilidad progresiva, pérdida de la sensibilidad, y pérdida de los reflejos tendinosos profundos. Puede producirse debilidad de los músculos respiratorios y disfunción autonómica. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1312-1314)

Scope note: An acute inflammatory autoimmune neuritis caused by T cell- mediated cellular immune response directed towards peripheral myelin. Demyelination occurs in peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection, surgery, immunization, lymphoma, or exposure to toxins. Common clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Weakness of respiratory muscles and autonomic dysfunction may occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1312-1314)
