We performed nerve biopsy on patients with MM in whom the etiology could not be established via other investigations. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Sixty\u2010eight patients with MM seen between January 2013 and June 2014 underwent detailed diagnostic evaluation. Those in whom the investigations failed to establish an etiology underwent nerve biopsy. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: A diagnosis of leprosy was confirmed in 14 patients and was highly probable in 17 others. Eleven patients had vasculitic neuropathy, and in 1 patient there were amyloid deposits on nerve biopsy. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: In 43 of 68 Indian patients (63%) with MM, nerve biopsy identified a definite (26 patients) or probable (17 patients) etiology. Nerve biopsy is a valuable investigation in MM that frequently results in a diagnosis of leprosy in India. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic>, 2016 <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>55<\/jats:bold>: 23\u201327, 2017<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.25179","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,9]],"date-time":"2016-05-09T19:48:42Z","timestamp":1462823322000},"page":"23-27","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Nerve biopsy in Indian patients with mononeuropathy multiplex of undetermined etiology"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Dinkar","family":"Kulshreshtha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Vibhuti Khand Gomtinagar, Lucknow Uttar Pradesh 226010 India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiran Preet","family":"Malhotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Gomtinagar, Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pradeep Kumar","family":"Maurya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Vibhuti Khand Gomtinagar, Lucknow Uttar Pradesh 226010 India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ajai Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Vibhuti Khand Gomtinagar, Lucknow Uttar Pradesh 226010 India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anup Kumar","family":"Thacker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Vibhuti Khand Gomtinagar, Lucknow Uttar Pradesh 226010 India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nuzhat","family":"Husain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Gomtinagar, Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.74.6.803"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-1626-1-287"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(12)70065-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(08)70166-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"100","article-title":"Systemic and non\u2010systemic vasculitis affecting the peripheral nerves","volume":"109","author":"Finsterer J","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Neurol Belg"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","first-page":"131","article-title":"A rare cause for mononeuropathy multiplex","volume":"52","author":"Panicker JN","year":"2004","journal-title":"Neurol India"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0025-7125(16)32878-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3349\/ymj.1990.31.1.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","first-page":"636","article-title":"et al","volume":"55","author":"Collins MP","year":"2000","journal-title":"Superficial peroneal nerve\/peroneus brevis muscle biopsy in vasculitic neuropathy.
