title: [Multiple sclerosis--studies of the correlations between selected parameters of immune response and the clinical course of the disease].
abstract: In the paper the following immune response parameters were analyzed: number of leucocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid, IgG index, presence and number of oligoclonal IgG bands. The correlation between these parameters and between the parameters and clinical course of multiple sclerosis was studied. Oligoclonal bands were present in the cerebrospinal fluid in 92% cases of MS, and that was the most frequent abnormality among immune response parameters studied. There was a correlation between IgG index, number of leucocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid and number of oligoclonal IgG bands in patients with relapsing-remitting course of the disease. We did not find any statistical differences between the number of leucocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid, the frequency of pleocytosis and the type of the disease, relapsing remitting or chronic progressive. The type of the disease, its duration and number of relapses did not significantly influence the IgG index values and number of IgG oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid.
