- Abstract
The article presents a study on the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal banding in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It states the use of the MSBase, a web-based collaborative MS outcome registry, to find out the OCB positivity in patients with MS and its effect to disability outcome. It concludes that OCB in patients with MS contribute to worse prognosis with latitude variation.
