CIDP statistics in UK.

According to the ‘Guide to CIDP’ issued by the UK GBS/CIDP Support Group and online at [url]http://www.gbs.org.uk/info/cidp.htm[/url]

“CIDP is a rare disease of the peripheral nervous system which affects about 500 people in the UK at any one time.”

The official UK mid-2006 population was 60,587,000. That makes it 1 in every 121,000 affected by CIDP at any one time.:)
