✦ Synopsis

Mononeuropathies associated with orthotopic liver transplantation were evaluated in a prospective manner. Ten percent of liver transplant recipients were noted to have focal peripheral nerve lesions in the postoperative period. The ulnar nerve was most commonly involved, with intraoperative compression or postoperative trauma as possible mechanisms of injury. Other upper extremity mononeuropathies were likely a result of vascular cannulations. No brachial plexus injuries occurred. Diabetes and alcoholism were not risk factors for the development of a mononeuropathy.

We tested the hypothesis that religiosity (ie, seeking God's help, having faith in God, trusting in God, and trying to perceive God's will in the disease) is associated with improved survival in patients with end-stage liver disease who have undergone orthotopic liver transplantation.

Immunologic syndromes are associated with hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection. However, mononeuropathy multiplex (MM), a syndrome in which immune factors may play a role, is rare in acute HBV infection. Few cases of MM associated with HBV infection have been reported. We report a case of acute HBV inf
