Bacterial Diseases
Viral and bacterial infections can cause indirect nerve damage by
provoking conditions referred to as autoimmune disorders, in which
specialized cells and antibodies of the immune system attack the
body's own tissues. These attacks typically cause destruction of
the nerve's myelin sheath or axon (the long fiber that extends out
from the main nerve cell body). Lyme disease, diphtheria, and leprosy are bacterial diseases characterized by extensive peripheral nerve damage. Diphtheria and leprosy are now rare in the United States, but Lyme disease is on the rise. It can cause a wide range of neuropathic disorders, including a rapidly developing, painful polyneuropathy, often within a few weeks after initial infection by a tick bite. Staph infections that are gotten from hospitalization can also cause nerve damage. Virus Diseases Viruses that can attack nerve tissues include herpes varicella-zoster (shingles), Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex-members of the large family of human herpes viruses. These viruses severely damage sensory nerves, causing attacks of sharp, lightning-like pain. Postherpetic neuralgia often occurs after an attack of shingles and can be particularly painful. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, also causes extensive damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems. The virus can cause several different forms of neuropathy, each strongly associated with a specific stage of an active immunodeficiency disease. A rapidly progressive, painful polyneuropathy affecting the feet and hands is often the first clinically apparent sign of HIV infection. Nerve Damage is also called Neuropathy.
