1 Peripheral neuropathy in cystic fibrosis: A prevalence study
Biswaroop Chakrabarty, S.K. Kabra, Sheffali Gulati, G.S. Toteja, Rakesh Lodha, Madhulika Kabra, R.M. Pandey, Achal Srivastava  Journal of Cystic Fibrosis  Volume 12, Issue 6, Pages (December 2013) DOI: /j.jcf Copyright © 2013 European Cystic Fibrosis Society. Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 (a) Scatter plot showing distribution of sural nerve amplitudes as percentage of lower limit of normal {−2.5 SD, n=80, 28 patients showing decrease (<80% of lower limit of normal)/absent amplitudes}. (b) Scatter plot showing distribution of sensory median nerve amplitudes as percentage of lower limit of normal {−2.5 SD, n=80, 7 patients showing decrease (<80% of lower limit of normal)/absent amplitudes}. (c) Scatter plot showing distribution of sensory ulnar nerve amplitudes as percentage of lower limit of normal {−2.5 SD, n=80, 8 patients showing decrease (<80% of lower limit of normal)/absent amplitudes}. The dashed line in each plot refers to the 80% of lower limit of normal of the sensory nerve amplitude which corresponds to the threshold below which it is considered to be axonal neuropathy.

3 Fig. 2 Box plot depicting serum vitamin B12 levels in patients with (n=22) and without peripheral neuropathy (n=23). The peripheral neuropathy group showing a lower median value and consequently more low normal values of serum vitamin B12.
