Abstract
A case of definite MS with unusual polyneuritic onset is described.
The case is discussed in the light of published data and of experimental studies that have demonstrated a cross reaction between central and peripheral nervous system antigens.
Sommario
Viene presentato un caso di SM definita con inusuale esordio polinevritico dimostrato con EMG.
Gli autori discutono tale evenienza alla luce dei dati della letteratura e rispetto a studi sperimentali che dimostrano una reazione crociata tra antigeni del CNS e PNS.
