Abstract:
Combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is a rare autoimmune disease and its action mechanism remains unknown. This article described a case of CCPD with anti-neurofascin 155 IgG4 antibodies after varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection who was recovered after steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin treatments. The clinical characteristics of this patient were summarized and the possible pathogenesis was discussed, so as to provide information of CCPD after VZV infection for clinicians.
