Autoimmune nodopathies mimic seronegative GBS or CIDP but have distinct biology and treatment response — often failing IVIg or steroids, yet improving with anti-CD20 therapy.
Early recognition can be life-changing.

The immunology and neuropathology of the autoimmune nodopathies
The autoimmune nodopthies have recently emerged as a discrete subtype of inflammatory neuropathy. They are characterised by the presence of IgG class autoantibodies directed against structural compone...
