10 Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #7: Infections
If a pathogen manages to find a way into the body, it could potentially take hold and cause complications. Our immune system does a great job of fighting infections but it can be overwhelmed, and it is not effective against all pathogens. If an infection does take hold then we can begin to suffer a range of symptoms, some of which can be very unpleasant.
One possible symptom of an infection is peripheral neuropathy. Although many infections can be treated with antibiotics, some are very difficult to treat and should be taken very seriously. If you are suffering from signs of an infection you should arrange to see a doctor as soon as you can.
