title: Multiple sclerosis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
abstract: A case of multiple sclerosis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis confirmed by cytology is reported. The association of multiple sclerosis with other autoimmune diseases is infrequent but supports the immune hypothesis of the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. The authors suggest the inclusion of immunological tests in the screening of all patients diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis.
