There studied changes of electroneuiomyographical indices for evaluation of incidence and dynamics of lesion of peripheral nervous system during diphtheria. For this purpose 37 patients with diphtheria polyneuropathy at the age of 214 years at different terms of disease were examined. It was shown that during diphtheria most often the nerves of lower extremities are damaged: fibular and tibial. Information of ENMG indices of the latter is more significant. For revealing the initial symptoms of the nervous system lesion it is useful to investigate the state of myelinization of proximal parts of peripheral nerves according to F-wave latency.
