Description
Szymon Andrusiów and colleagues examine gut and spinal fluid microbes in a nerve disease called CIDP, in a 2026 study. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy damages the insulation around nerves through immune attack. Its triggers are unknown and no confirmed biomarker exists.
Thirty-two untreated patients were compared with fifteen healthy controls using stool, blood, and spinal fluid samples. Patients' gut bacteria were more diverse, with clear shifts in community makeup. Greater diversity tracked worse nerve conduction results, an unexpected direction. Short-chain fatty acids and one immune gene's variants each matched distinct microbial patterns. Spinal fluid carried only a faint bacterial signal, and fungal communities showed no firm case-control gap.
