Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Associated with Alopecia Totalis and Sjögren Syndrome

The document discussed a case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) associated with alopecia totalis and Sjögren syndrome. The authors, Lara Sanvito, Siew L. Wong, and Yusuf A. Rajabally from the Neuromuscular Clinic at the University Hospitals of Leicester, highlighted the rare co-occurrence of these conditions. The letter emphasized the importance of recognizing the potential overlap of autoimmune disorders in patients presenting with CIDP, suggesting that comprehensive evaluation for other autoimmune conditions like alopecia totalis and Sjögren syndrome could be crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
