Mononeuritis multiplex is characterized by an asymmetric pattern with affection of the peripheral nervous system; this form of polyneuropathy is often seen in non-systemic vasculitis. We present a case of multiplex neuropathy in a patient with histologicaly verified Hailey-Hailey disease. With the exception of this comorbidity--in its characteristic form presenting additionally with a superinfected subdermal node--we did not find any other possible etiologic factor possibly causative of multiplex neuritis. The diagnosis was confirmed by electrophysiological testing. To our knowledge, this is the first case report indicating a possible relationship between Hailey-Hailey disease and multiplex neuritis. There exists only one related study in the literature, which was conducted in Columbia--our patient's home country. This study delineates a clinically similar dermal disease (pemphigus foliaceus) in patients from rural Colombia (El Bagre). The authors detected anti-neuronal antibodies which were interpreted to be responsible for the pathognomonic burning sensations.
多发性单神经炎的特征是外周神经系统受累的不对称模式;这种形式的多发性神经病常见于非系统性血管炎。我们报告一例经组织学证实为黑利-黑利病患者的多发性神经病病例。除了这种合并症——其典型表现还包括一个皮下结节合并感染——我们未发现任何其他可能导致多发性神经炎的病因。电生理检查证实了诊断。据我们所知,这是首例表明黑利-黑利病与多发性神经炎之间可能存在关联的病例报告。文献中仅有一项相关研究,该研究是在我们患者的祖国哥伦比亚进行的。这项研究描述了哥伦比亚农村地区(埃尔巴格雷)患者中一种临床类似的皮肤病(落叶型天疱疮)。作者检测到抗神经元抗体,这些抗体被认为是导致特征性烧灼感的原因。
