Inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy associated with interstitial lung disease

Clin Rheumatol. 2000;19(3):235-7. doi: 10.1007/s100670050165.

Abstract

A 58-year-old woman presented with inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy accompanied by sensory and motor disturbance and interstitial lung disease. Corticosteroid therapy led to a marked amelioration of both the neuropathy and the lung disease. We suggest that a demyelinating neuropathy is associated with an interstitial lung disease.
