Abstract

Objective: This article discusses the clinical manifestations and management of infectious peripheral neuropathies.

Latest developments: Several infectious etiologies of peripheral neuropathy are well-recognized and their treatments are firmly established. The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is associated with several central and peripheral nervous system manifestations, including peripheral neuropathies. Additionally, some COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome. These disorders are an active area of surveillance and research. Recent evidence-based guidelines have provided updated recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.

Essential points: Infectious agents of many types (primarily bacteria and viruses) can affect the peripheral nerves, resulting in various clinical syndromes such as mononeuropathy or mononeuropathy multiplex, distal symmetric polyneuropathy, radiculopathy, inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, and motor neuronopathy. Knowledge of these infections and the spectrum of peripheral nervous system disorders associated with them is essential because many have curative treatments. Furthermore, understanding the neuropathic presentations of these disorders may assist in diagnosing the underlying infection.

传染性神经病。

目的：探讨感染性周围神经病变的临床表现及处理方法。最新进展：周围神经病变的几种感染性病因已被公认，其治疗方法也已确立。由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）引起的新冠肺炎大流行与几种中枢和外周神经系统表现有关，包括外周神经病变。此外，一些新冠肺炎疫苗与格林-巴利综合征有关。这些疾病是监测和研究的一个活跃领域。最近的循证指南为莱姆病的诊断和治疗提供了最新的建议。要点：多种类型的传染源（主要是细菌和病毒）会影响周围神经，导致各种临床综合征，如单神经病或多发性单神经病、远端对称性多发性神经病、神经根病、炎症性脱髓鞘性多发神经根神经病和运动神经元病。了解这些感染及其相关的外周神经系统疾病是至关重要的，因为许多感染都有治疗方法。此外，了解这些疾病的神经病理性表现可能有助于诊断潜在的感染。
