Αssociation of multiple sclerosis with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined<br /> significance<br />
Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2004, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
The cases are presented of two patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). MGUS is the result of a plasma cell clone escaping normal control. MS is a demyelinative disease in which there is evidence of CD4 dependent B-cell activation. Their association could be the result of a causal link between these disorders or it may be a fortuitous phenomenon.
