Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: Plasmapheresis or cyclosporine can be good treatment..., Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nervous system. CIDP is traditionally described as progressive symmetric weakness of all limbs over the course of at least 8 weeks [1]. It is observed in patients of all ages but is much rarer in pediatric patients, with a prevalence of less than 0.5 per 100,000 [2,3]., Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nervous system.

It is observed in patients of all ages but is much rarer in pediatric patients, with a prevalence of less than 0.5 per 100,000 [2,3]. CIDP is a clinical diagnosis, and there are many proposed diagnostic criteria [4]. Thus, CIDP can be seen as a group of heterogeneous polyneuropathies with a spectrum of clinical findings and numerous variants [5]., admin,
