Corneal inflammatory cell infiltration predicts disease activity in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Abstract The assessment of disease activity is fundamental in the management of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Previous studies with small patient numbers found an increase of corneal immune cell infiltrates as a potential marker of inflammation in patients with CIDP. Howe...
