INNOVATIVE METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING POLYNEUROPATHY

Abstract

The article contains international data showing the violation of the humoral link of immunity in the pathogenesis of CIDP. There are results of our own investigation which purpose was to study the features of the clinical picture, electrophysiological indices, levels of the B-cell activation factor (BAFF) in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid in patients with CIDP. To improve the diagnosis of CIDP, the possibility of using the method of studying the blinking reflex, as well as determining the levels of BAFF in biological fluids, has been demonstrated.
