title: Multiple sclerosis in a black Cameroonian woman.
abstract: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has never been described in Bantu South Africans whereas it does exist in mixed race South Africans. The authors report a case of MS in a Semi-Bantu black woman from Cameroon (Central Africa) who presented with a typical remitting and relapsing course with MRI and CSF findings consistent with MS.
