Interferon alpha-2b in epidemic neuropathy
Lopez-Saura, Pedro; Hernandez, Francisco; Gonzalez, Tania; Labarta, Violeta; Valdes, Raul; Saez, Vivian; Morlans, Alain & Cuban Multicenter Group for Clinical Trials with Interferon in Epidemic Neuropathy
Abstract
More than 40 000 cases of an epidemic neuropathy were reported in Cuba during 1993. It had two clinical pictures: an optic neuritis and a peripheral neuropathy. IFN treatment had no additional effect, over the vitamin therapy, on the evolution of the optic neuritis. A pooled, stratified, analysis of all the trials indicates that IFN could be useful for the treatment of the peripheral neuritis associated to the epidemic neuropathy.
