Answer: decreased speed of conduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Schwann cells are type of cells of the peripheral nervous system that produce myelin sheath around neurosonal axons thereby increasing the saltatory function of neurons.

If Schwann cells are damaged it result in blockage of electric conduction which will produce secondary demeylination and resulting in shock or toxic immune shock.

Schwann cells produce myelin sheath will help to increase saltatory conduction but when it is damaged it will decrease conduction and result in shock.
