Polyneuropathy in Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia: reduction of endoneurial IgM-deposits after treatment with chlorambucil and plasmapheresis.

abstract：:Nodding syndrome is an epidemic neurologic disorder of unknown cause that affects children in the subsistence-farming communities of East Africa. We report the neuropathologic findings in five fatal cases (13-18 years of age at death) of nodding syndrome from the Acholi people in northern Uganda. Neuropathologic exami...
