oligoclonal bands (ocb) can be detected in a significant percentage (90%) of patients with multiple sclerosis (ms), however, a much lower percentage has been reported in some studies, mainly from oriental countries. on the other hand, ocb have been detected in other neurological disorders (ond), even in diseases without any definite evidence for inflammation in csf such as myasthenia gravis. th...

background multiple sclerosis (ms) is a demyelinating condition affecting the central nervous system. although the cause of this condition is unknown, patients with ms seem to have genetic vulnerability to certain environmental factors such as infection that could trigger this condition. objectives we conducted this study to determine whether ms risk increases following primary infection with e...
