“…Histopatológicamente, se observa una denervación parcial que se compensa con reinervación proveniente de neuronas indemnes, lo cual produce síntomas muy leves que pueden pasar desapercibidos en las evaluaciones clínicas superficiales (63,64). Se observan, además, infiltrados granulomatosos perivasculares y lesiones desmielinizantes multifocales (65,66).…”

“…O exuberante quadro neurológico encontrado nas formas agudas da doença não encontra paralelo nas formas crônicas, cujo reconhecimento torna-se difícil porque os elementos semiológicos e laboratoriais são muitas vezes insuficientes para a sua afirmação.

Os estudos relativos ao psiquismo e funções cognitivas demonstrando situações deficitárias são vários (Vieira 27 , Lausi 13 , Jorg 1 ©, entre outros).…”
