Declining trends in mortality from cerebrovascular disease at ages 10-65 years: a test of validity.

abstract：:Infectious viruses and bacteria can trigger multiple sclerosis (MS) exacerbations. Seasonally changing concentrations of ambient air pollutants are known to predispose to transmissible infections, to induce systemic immune responses and to enhance existing peripheral inflammation.
