What are the clinical manifestations of infectious polyradiculitis?

The clinical manifestations of infectious polyradiculoneuritis include autonomic dysfunction, motor disturbances, cranial nerve impairments, etc. The specific details are as follows:

1. Autonomic dysfunction

Patients often experience excessive sweating, skin flushing or cold extremities. They may also develop arrhythmias, tachycardia, blood pressure instability, or bladder dysfunction as symptoms of autonomic nervous system involvement.

2. Motor disturbances

Symptoms typically begin in the lower limbs and progress upward. Paralysis is usually symmetrical, with more severe involvement in distal than proximal muscles. Tendon reflexes in affected limbs are diminished or absent, often accompanied by muscle atrophy.

3. Cranial nerve impairments

Multiple cranial nerves are frequently involved simultaneously, although isolated involvement of a single cranial nerve can also occur.

In addition to the above clinical manifestations, patients may also experience progressive muscle weakness, dysphagia, limb paralysis, and other symptoms. If any discomfort occurs, patients should seek timely medical treatment. It is important to get adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and refrain from prolonged熬夜 (staying up late). Maintaining a positive mental state and avoiding emotional excitement is also recommended.
