title: The HLA system and multiple sclerosis.
abstract: We referred the data on association between M.S. patients and HLA complex in the different populations. Then we discussed the different aetiopathogenetic hypothesis that centre on the disease. We considered also viral and autoimmunity theory and the possibility that these two hypothesis don't wrangle but complete them.
