Peripheral Neuropathies
Peripheral neuropathies are a major cause of pain and disability worldwide. These conditions can be hereditary, complications of therapy (particularly chemotherapy) or complications of primary conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, traumatic injury, autoimmune disease or infection. The association of Zika virus infection with Guillain–Barré syndrome in the ongoing epidemic in Latin America highlights the importance of understanding how these diseases develop and how they should be managed. Beginning in the December 2016 issue, Nature Reviews Neurology will be publishing a series of articles looking at recent advances in our understanding of disease mechanisms, and in the diagnosis and management of a variety of peripheral neuropathies.

CSL Behring has had a long-standing commitment to the field of neurology. Through our PolyneuroExchange website (www.polyneuroexchange.com), we share up-to-date information on symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for peripheral neuropathies. Video and audio presentations provide insights from recognized leaders in the field of inflammatory neuropathies and related sciences. CSL Behring has collaborated with these global thought leaders and experts in their field to share their expertise and latest research that has been presented at scientific congresses in this digital format.
Learn more about the pathogenesis and mechanism of action of inflammatory neuropathies, as well as the results and implications of clinical trials for new treatments. Although various neuropathies may be discussed, particular attention is given to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN).
