砷中毒性周围神经病的研究进展

Progress in study on peripheral neurotoxicity caused by arsenic

砷中毒性周围神经病是从四肢远端向近端发展的感觉型或感觉运动型周围神经病,肌电图检查是一项客观而敏感的指标。经驱砷及综合治疗,病情缓慢恢复;其确切发病机制目前尚不清楚,有待进一步研究。

Peripheral neuropathy caused by arsenic poisoning mainly is sensation-type or sensomotor-type neuropathy developed from distal ends of extremities to proximal parts, which might get some degree recovery under arsenic-expelling and comprehensive therapy. Electromyography （EMG） is an objective and sensitive indicator for diagnosis. The exact mechanism on its toxicity is still remained unclear and needed further research in the future.
