Aetiology of small- and mixed-fiber neuropathy
Original language description
Aim Small-fiber neuropathy (SFN) is reported to be associated with a range of diseases or conditions that are partly different from those associated with large-fiber affection. The aim of the study is to evaluate aetiology in a group of SFN patients in comparison with mixed (i.e., small- and large-) fiber neuropathy (MFN). Methods A detailed medical history was taken and exhaustive blood tests, chest radiography and lumbar puncture were performed in a group of 84 patients with ?burning feet? syndrome and clearly proven affection of small nerve fibers (verified by abnormal thermal thresholds and reduced intra-epidermal nerve fiber density in the distal calf). Thirty-three of them also exhibited nerve conduction abnormalities as a sign of large-fibre involvement (MFN group). Results The range and proportions of causes were similar in SFN and MFN subgroups.
