Abstract
(1) There is evidence that the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) are at least partly the consequence of an auto-aggressive immunological reaction. For this reason, we undertook a small (fourteen patients) trial of the remedial effects of intensive immunosuppression: the combined administration of corticosteroid, Imuran (azathioprine) and antilymphocyte globulin (ALG).This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
