Autoantibody synthesis in primary progressive multiple sclerosis patients treated with interferon beta-1b.

abstract：:A consecutive series of 327 patients (188 males, 139 females; mean age 68.4, SEM 1.33) were hospitalized within 12 h of the onset of their first-ever hemispheric infarct. Three groups of patients were identified: diabetics (n = 70), non-diabetic hyperglycaemics (n = 93) and normoglycaemics (n = 164). Case-fatality rat...
