Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The authors describe two patients with acute sensory ataxic neuropathy. Both had a profound loss of proprioception and generalized areflexia. High titers of monospecific anti-GD1b IgG antibody were detected in their sera during the acute phase. Sensory ataxia resolved within 2 weeks after the onset. Taken together with the induction of experimental sensory ataxic neuropathy sensitized with GD1b ganglioside, GD1b may be a target molecule for autoantibody in some patients with acute sensory ataxic neuropathy.
