파상풍 감염에 의한 말초신경병증이 의심되는 1예 = A Case of Peripheral Meuropathy with Tetanus Infection

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is well known that the tetanospasmin interrupts axonal transport in the peripheral nerve as well as spinal
Renshaw cell inhibitory function. But there has been little attention about polyneuropathy caused by the
tetanospasmin. We experienced a case of sensorymotor polyneuropathy after tetanus recovery. The clinical
and electrophysiological evidence suggest that the involvement of peripheral nerves in tetanus is not
as uncommon as we previously thought.
