We describe a 38-year-old woman with a predominantly sensory axonal polyneuropathy in whom a nerve biopsy demonstrated sarcoid granulomas. The neuropathy did not respond to oral steroid therapy but there was a rapid and repeated response to intravenous immunoglobulin, which gradually diminished over subsequent treatments, but remained beneficial. The systemic sarcoidosis remained active.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
