DX CIDP in patient with h/o gbs
I was referred a patient who is 71 years old with a history of Gullian barre syndrome diagnosed 3 years ago in Pennsylvania treated with IVIG treatment with good recovery but with residual left side weakness. She is now ambulating with cane. At the time she had acute ascending paraplegia. Was admitted and did not need vent Current EMG is showing mixed sensory motor peripheral polyneuropathy left worse than right predominantly demyelinating. Similar picture in upper extremities. patient is clinically stable with no recent worsening of the weakness. I just reported it as a sensory motor neuropathy, without commenting on possible diagnosis. Could I call it CIDP? Or is that more clinical diagnosis. Any ideas or inputs?

I enjoy participating in the Â鶹APP Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
