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.
