Neurologists frequently encounter neurologic disease in patients with known systemic disorders; not infrequently neurologic disease is the presenting manifestation of medical illness,” said guest editor Neeraj Kumar, MD, consultant in the department of neurology, Mayo Clinic, and professor of neurology, Mayo Medical School, Rochester, MN. “The ‘Systemic Diseases’ issue will include discussion on the neurologic aspects of various subdivisions of internal medicine.” Articles include: nn Autoimmune Neurology of the Central Nervous System,
