In order to examine the specificity of the diagnostic criteria of @entity2646 , we studied 543 @entity1 with @entity3949 without clinical evidence of @entity2646 (307 @entity1 and 236 @entity1 , aged 60.4 +/- 11.1 years old). Moderate or severe @entity16 @entity1 , whose @entity305 index (PNI) was below 80% of the normal, counted 169. Twenty out of 169 @entity6 @entity1 fulfilled the electrophysiologic criteria of @entity2646 . This number corresponded to more than 3.7% of the total @entity6 . Motor conduction velocity category was fulfilled in 90%, conduction block in 65%, distal motor latency in 70% and F-wave latency category in 90% of 20 @entity1 . Incomplete conduction block in the peroneal nerve and abnormally prolonged distal latency in the median nerve were frequent. These findings may reflect an overlaying focal compression. Decreased motor conduction velocity or prolonged F-wave latency were observed almost equally in every nerve. Electrophysiologic diagnostic criteria of @entity2646 was prepared to confirm the demyelinating nature of the @entity16 , and other @entity17 should be ruled out. @entity6 @entity1 who fulfilled this criteria was not rare. This fact is important, because clinical and CSF criteria of @entity2646 will be cleared in most of the @entity6 @entity1 ; some @entity3949 can be diagnosed as probable @entity2646 .
