Abstract
In the past few years a number of studies have been conducted on possible altered immune responses to viruses in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Several groups, including our own, have found slightly increased measles antibody levels in MS patients (1, 2). Recently, altered cellular immune responses to measles have been reported (5). Other studies have suggested the association of measles and an unidentified agent with MS (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
