A chronic sensory neuropathy was the initial symptom in a case of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia in a 53-year-old woman. Ultrastructural analysis of a biopsied peripheral nerve revealed a modification of the lamellar structure of the myelin sheath. Immunofluorescent microscopy showed IgM-positive deposits on the myelin sheath. The monoclonal globulin (M component) present in the myelin appears to be a causative factor in the neuropathy.
一名53岁女性的华氏巨球蛋白血症病例中,慢性感觉神经病变是其初始症状。对活检的外周神经进行超微结构分析显示,髓鞘的板层结构发生改变。免疫荧光显微镜检查显示髓鞘上有IgM阳性沉积物。髓鞘中存在的单克隆球蛋白(M成分)似乎是神经病变的致病因素。
