A patient with anti-Hu antibodies, small-cell lung carcinoma, and autopsy-proven subacute sensory neuropathy had early slowing of motor and sensory conduction velocities. In the peripheral nerves, chronic demyelinating and remyelinating lesions with axonal degeneration were associated with an inflam
