Sera of 12 patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) were tested for the occurrence of autoantibodies against nervous system structures. Immunohistochemistry revealed autoantibodies against autonomic nervous system structures in 5 of 12 (41.6%) of the patients. Western blot analysis showed neuronal reactivity in 11 of 12 (91.6%) patients. The authors hypothesize that CRPS can result from an autoimmune process against the sympathetic nervous system.
对12例复杂性区域疼痛综合征(CRPS)患者的血清进行检测,以确定是否存在针对神经系统结构的自身抗体。免疫组织化学显示,12例患者中有5例(41.6%)存在针对自主神经系统结构的自身抗体。蛋白质印迹分析显示,12例患者中有11例(91.6%)出现神经元反应性。作者推测,CRPS可能是由针对交感神经系统的自身免疫过程引起的。
