conclusions the results of this study showed a possible association between cmv infection and ms. further experimental and epidemiological studies using case-control approaches are needed to confirm this association. results anti-cmv was positive in 65 (79.3%) and 69 (77.5%) of the ms patients and healthy subjects, respectively (p= 0.853). similarly, 23 (28%) and 2 (2.2%) patients were positive...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms), the most common demyelinating disease of the cns, is immunologically mediated in genetically susceptible individuals. receptors for the fc fragment of igg (fcγr) might induce inflammatory responses through linking the humoral and cellular immune responses by targeting immune complexes to effector cells. polymorphisms in some fcγr genes are associated with va...

sjogren-larsson syndrome (sls) is an inherited autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disorder with congenital ichthyosis, spastic diplegia or quadriplegia and mental retardation. we report a case of sjogren-larsson syndrome with clinical profile (mental retardation, ichthyosis, spastic diplegia) and mri findings such as seen in multiple sclerosis (ms). so this rare syndrome can be another differen...
