Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare immune-related disease affecting peripheral nerves, which the authors link to pulmonary nocardiosis in a specific patient case.
- A 65-year-old man with CIDP experienced disease progression despite receiving treatment, and he ultimately developed pulmonary nocardiosis, which led to further health complications.
- Despite attempts to manage both conditions with various therapies, including antibiotics and intravenous immunoglobulin, the patient’s condition deteriorated, and he ultimately died, highlighting the challenges in treating patients with coexisting rare diseases.
