摘要
Apoptosis has been shown to be an efficient mechanism involved in clearance of T lymphocytes from the brains of animals with acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for human multiple sclerosis. in this report we describe a case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis following general measles infection. In this disease, which closely mimics the pathology of acute EAE we found a high percentage (30%) of apoptotic T cells. This indicates that in both rodent and human brain clearance of T cell-mediated inflammation follows similar mechanisms.
