title: [Multiple sclerosis--an immunological disease].
abstract: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Although the cause(s) of multiple sclerosis is not known, an immunological process is considered to be a significant element in the pathogenesis of the disease. The paper describes important immunological features in multiple sclerosis and how immunological mechanisms can mediate demyelination.
