摘要
Blood and CSF of Sardinian patients with MS and neurologic control subjects were tested for MS-associated retrovirus (MSRV). CSF detection in MS was 50% at clinical onset, increasing with temporal disease progression, and 40% in control subjects. In blood, MSRV was detected in all MS patients, in most patients with inflammatory neurologic diseases, and rarely in healthy blood donors. MSRV may represent a marker of neurologic diseases of inflammatory origin.
