Abstract

Introduction: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a common neurological condition causing symmetrical and diffuse damage in nerves. The etiology of PN includes systemic diseases, toxic exposure, medications, infections, and hereditary diseases. Omalizumab is a humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody that exerts its activity by binding to free IgE in circulation.
