Neuralgic Amyotrophy, a peripheral nervous system disorder, is characterized by severe pain and muscle weakness, which can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. The exact cause of neuralgic amyotrophy is unknown, but it may be linked to immunopathological mechanisms. Recent research has found an association between neuralgic amyotrophy and hepatitis E virus infection. This communication aims to expand knowledge on the clinical phenotype of patients with neuralgic amyotrophy and hepatitis E virus infection, presenting the case of a 55-year-old man diagnosed with bilateral neuralgic amyotrophy and hepatitis E virus infection.
神经性肌萎缩是一种周围神经系统疾病,其特征为严重疼痛和肌肉无力,这会对患者的生活质量产生重大影响。神经性肌萎缩的确切病因尚不清楚,但可能与免疫病理机制有关。最近的研究发现神经性肌萎缩与戊型肝炎病毒感染之间存在关联。本交流旨在扩展对神经性肌萎缩合并戊型肝炎病毒感染患者临床表型的认识,报告一例55岁男性被诊断为双侧神经性肌萎缩合并戊型肝炎病毒感染的病例。
