[Serial studies of sterile skin exudate in patients with multiple sclerosis]

In 23 patients with multiple sclerosis (group i) and 15 other subjects (group II) cell content of sterile exudate was studied in the skin window test of Rebuck. The results were compared. Cellular reaction of the skin was greater in group I than in group II and the difference was statistically significant. The number of mononuclear cells was increased especially from 12 to 15 hours after scarification.
