Neuropatías inflamatorias / Inflammatory neuropathies (English)

Dear participants,

It is a pleasure for us to be involved in this course as part of the Masters in Neuroimmunology Program. Inflammatory neuropathies comprise a large and heterogeneous group of potentially severe and disabling diseases, which are, however, amenable to treatment. Here, we offer an overview of the specific disease entities within the group of inflammatory neuropathies, including their immunopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment options. Interestingly, the results obtained in animal models suggest that some of the mechanisms, described here, for autoimmune inflammatory neuropathies are also active in primary genetic myelin disorders.

We look forward to a fruitful and interactive course.
