Abstract

The paper discusses the anatomy of innervation of the skin, the epidermis and dermis in particular, which are related to pain, the markers of skin nerves and cells. It gives data on the diagnosis of fine unmyelinated fibers, by immunohistochemically examining skin biopsy specimens. The paper also describes the morphometry of skin nerves: intraepidermal nerve fibers, dermal nerve fibers, and autonomic nerve fibers. It discusses whether a skin biopsy specimen may be used to diagnose polyneuropathies of different etiology: diabetic, immune, HIV-related, and hereditary ones.

Обсуждается анатомия иннервации кожи, в частности эпидермиса и дермы, вегетативной иннервации, связанных с болью маркеров кожных нервов и клеток. Представлены данные по диагностике тонких немиелинизированных волокон посредством иммуногистохимического исследования кожного биоптата. Описана морфометрия кожных нервов: интраэпидермальных нервных волокон, нервных волокон дермы, вегетативных нервных волокон. Обсуждается возможность использования кожного биоптата в диагностике полиневропатий различной этиологии: диабетической, иммунной, ВИЧ-ассоциированной, наследственной.
