Research approaches on the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis by CSF examination

Abstract:
The diagnostic value of CSF oligoclonal IgG bands, intrathecal IgG synthesis, cytology and markers of myelin breakdown in the cerebro-spinal fluid were evaluated in multiple sclerosis. None of the various immunological alterations were unique to MS. The diagnosis depends therefore mainly on course and clinical symptoms, but can be supported by CSF analysis.
