چکیده
In multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the most common neurological causes of long-term disability, the myelin-producing oligodendrites of the CNS are the target of recurrent cell-mediated auto-immune attack. The lifetime risk of developing MS is about 1 in 800 in the western world, and in the UK the prevalence is 80 per 100,000 population. The incidence is higher in temperate climates and in people of European extraction, and the disease is slightly more prevalent in women (female: male ratio of 1.5:1).
