| Abstract: | 6 patients with definite MS underwent lymphocytoplasmapheresis for one year. Clinical data, evoked potential recordings and peripheral blood lymphocyte helper/suppressor ratio were assessed before and after the treatment and were compared with those of a control group of 10 multiple sclerosis patients. Lymphocytoplasmapheresis did not significantly modify clinical and laboratory findings compared with the control group.This work was supported by C.N.R. grant no 84-02427.56 Progetto finalizzato medicina preventiva e riabilitativa, Sottoprogetto SP3-Malattie del sistema nervoso. |
