[6] Canine herpesvirus is an infectious disease that is a common cause of death in puppies less than three weeks old. [7]
A different study showed that out of 100 patients, 16% had an infectious event six weeks or less prior to the onset of neurological symptoms: seven patients had CIDP that was related to or followed viral hepatitis, and six had a chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus. The other nine patients had vague symptoms similar to the flu. [14]
Treatment Immunomodulators Sensory neuronopathy (also known as sensory ganglionopathy) is a type of peripheral neuropathy that results primarily in sensory symptoms (such as parasthesias , pain or ataxia ) due to destruction of nerve cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion . [ 1 ]
