Chronic autoimmune demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the myelin sheaths. Myelin sheaths are the fatty insulation covering and protecting the nerves, and damage to these can lead to neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness. CIDP is a chronic disease in the Guillain-Barré syndrome spectrum. Numerous case reports of autoimmune diseases linked to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been seen since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. We present one such challenging case of COVID-19-induced CIDP.
慢性自身免疫性脱髓鞘性多发性神经病(CIDP)是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,机体免疫系统攻击髓鞘。髓鞘是覆盖和保护神经的脂肪性绝缘层,其受损会导致麻木、刺痛和无力等神经症状。CIDP是吉兰-巴雷综合征谱系中的一种慢性疾病。自2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行开始以来,已有许多与COVID-19相关的自身免疫性疾病的病例报告。我们在此呈现一例COVID-19诱发的CIDP这一具有挑战性的病例。
