## Abstract The sural nerve of a 9βmonthβlod infant with Pompe's disease revealed lysosomal and free cytoplasmic glycogen in almost every cell type. Glycogen was combined with lipofuscinlike material in Schwann cells of unmyelinated axons. Proliferation of axonal constituents indicated mild damage
Electrophysiological results of sural nerve conduction studies were compared with quantitative histological data from the same nerve in 27 patients with alcoholic neuropathy. Diminution of amplitude and/or conduction velocity of the main component was seen in 14 nerves. Minimum nerve conduction velo
Cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) from 66 patients with a variety of neurological disorders were studied for total protein content, absolute amount of albumin, IgA, IgG and IgM, as well as their quotients (fraction to total protein ratio), cell numbers and B cell and T cell levels. In addition, the percent
