Zusammenfassung: | The most frequent neurologic manifestations of hepatitis C virus
infection include peripheral neuropathy axonal type and central nervous
system (CNS) vasculitis. Affected patients usually have
cryoglobulinemia and other signs of vasculitis. Demyelinating lesions,
both central and peripheral are rarely described. We present a case of
simultaneous peripheral nervous system and CNS demyelination that comes
in relapsing episodes, with negative cryoglobulins. |
