A 65‐year‐old man presented with a sensorimotor polyneuropathy associated with B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody to various gangliosides. Electrophysiological studies denoted significant abnormalities of motor and sensory nerve conduction. Although the pathology of sural nerve biopsy looked minimally affected, immunohistochemical studies showed specific binding of IgM to the human peripheral nerve. Our patient also had high titer of antibody to human T‐cell leukemia virus I (HTLV‐I) in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which might activate B‐cell–mediated immunity and facilitate the production of IgM antibody. The other unique feature is the reactivity of antibody to gangliosides. The patient had IgM antibody reactivities to gangliosides with disialosyl residue such as GT1b, GQ1b and GD3, but not to GD1b. IgM antibody to gangliosides with disialosyl residue has been reported in ataxic symptoms, but our patient failed to demonstrate ataxia. Without reactivity to GD1b, sensory ataxic neuropathy might not develop even in the presence of antibody reactive to other gangliosides with disialosyl residue. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
