Zusammenfassung This 1998 book was the first to be dedicated to peripheral neuropathies of immune or infectious origin. Neurologists will welcome this comprehensive review of the field! which provides an overview of pathogenesis! diagnosis and treatment. It is directly relevant to the everyday management of patients! and will also interest researchers.
