title: Multiple sclerosis: report of a case in a Papua New Guinean.
abstract: Multiple sclerosis is rare in equatorial countries and has not been diagnosed in the indigenous population of Papua New Guinea. We describe the clinical features of a young Papua New Guinean with optic neuritis and a myelopathy which we believe to be due to multiple sclerosis.
