Thirty subjects affected with multiple sclerosis, of which 22 were female and eight male, with an average of 30 +/- 7, years were studied, for a period of 10-15 months,. clinically using Kurtzkes' report form, neurophysiologically (responses tested: VEP, BAEP, SEP, ESG) and immunologically (Rosette Et, Ea, EAC). Of the 30 cases, 19 showed poussées in the last three years and 11 were in the stabilization phase. The Kurtzke reports and the neurophysiological tests permitted an accurate assessment of lesion levels and their rate of evolution. The immunological tests showed a notable ability to differentiate between subjects with recent poussées and those in the stabilization phase presenting overall values significantly below the norm. In the follow-up, after treatments with methisoprinol, the immunological tests also revealed modifications of notable interest.

D007542 Inosine Pranobex An alkylamino-alcohol complex of inosine used in the treatment of a variety of viral infections. Unlike other antiviral agents, it acts by modifying or stimulating cell-mediated immune processes rather than acting on the virus directly.

D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
