We performed quantitative immunohistochemical studies of sural nerve biopsy specimens from 20 patients to determine whether endoneurial and epineurial lymphocytic infiltration occurs in diabetic nerves. The diabetic nerves contained a mean of 129 CD3' cells per tissue section compared to 19 cells in

By recording the averaged potential from a microelectrode inserted into the nerve, small late components of the sensory nerve action potential can be analyzed. We studied the thresholds of the late components in median nerves of 15 normal subjects and 37 patients with peripheral neuropathies. Under
