In this episode of “Answers From the Lab,” host Bobbi Pritt, M.D., chair of the Division of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, and Div Dubey, M.B.B.S., a neurologist and co-director of the Clinical Neuroimmunology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic, explore the topic of peripheral neuropathy. Their discussion covers:

• The high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy and why early diagnosis is important. 
• The complexities involved in diagnosing the condition.
• Symptoms that should prompt clinicians to order advanced testing early in the diagnostic process.
• How algorithms are enhancing the use of testing to complement other diagnostic tools.
• Ongoing discovery related to specific antibodies associated with neuropathies.
