AB This  chapter  reviews  neuropathies  associated  with  various  drugs  and  other  environmental  exposures  (Table  20-1).  Toxic  neuropathies  due  to  chemotherapeutic  agents  are  discussed  in  Chapter  19.  The  associated  neuropathy  for  most  of  these  is  an  axonal,  length-dependent  predominantly  sensory  neuropathy.  The  history  of  exposure  and  sometimes  the  involvement  of  other  organ  systems  help  to  suggest  the  correct  diagnosis.  Although  we  mention  features  that  have  been  reported  on  nerve  biopsy,  this  is  not  typically  part  of  the  workup  as  in  most  cases  the  abnormalities  are  nonspecific.
