| Usage: |
Neuromyelitis Optica is an inflammatory autoimmune disease-causing demyelination of the central nervous system with degradation of the insulating sheath of at least one optical nerve (Neuritis Nervi optici) and at the same time or a few months later the spinal cord (Myelitis). Antibodies against aquaporin-4 are detectable in 60% to 90% of patients. In 7.4% of cases, however, antibodies against MOG are also produced. In patients who are anti-aquaporin-4 negative, MOG antibodies occur in 21.1% of sera. |
