Anti-sulfatide neuropathy is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antibodies against sulfatide, a type of lipid found in the myelin sheath of nerve cells. This condition leads to demyelination, resulting in peripheral neuropathy, which can manifest as sensory loss, weakness, and pain. It is often associated with other autoimmune diseases and can impact diagnosis and treatment strategies. Early recognition and management are crucial to mitigate symptoms and improve quality of life.
