N2 - Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a treatable immune-mediated disorder, which causes in its typical form, symmetric proximal and distal weakness with large fibre sensory impairment involving the four limbs. There are currently three main first-line therapeutic options for CIDP. These consist of corticosteroids, immunoglobulins and plasma exchanges (PE) which have all been found effective in a number of trials conducted over the past several years (Van den Bergh and Rajabally, 2013). No immunosuppressant therapy has shown benefit in CIDP, although they are utilized by many clinicians in various circumstances despite absence of an evidence base.
