Cuban neuropathy
An epidemic of optic and peripheral neuropathy occurred in Cuba during 1991–1994. According to a preliminary summary from the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba (MINSAP), there were 50,862 cases out of a population of 10.8 million. The etiology is likely nutritional deficiencies, particularly thiamine, compounded by toxic effects of alcohol and tobacco use.
