Changes in serum immunoglobulin (IgA, IgG, IgM) concentrations were studied in 31 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) according to the clinical form of the disease, its duration and treatment with ACTH. The serum IgG concentration was increased on the onset of the disease, while it was significantly decreased in MS patients treated with ACTH for the first time. There was no significant relationship of serum immunoglobulin concentrations and the number of courses of treatment with ACTH or duration of MS.
The authors describe a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome with a high protein level in the cerebrospinal fluid. During the treatment corticotherapy was found to be of low effectiveness but a gradual improvement followed a combined treatment with imuran and corticosteroids with simultaneous intrathecal hydrocortisone administration despite persistence of changes in the concentration of total protein and immunoglobulins in the cerebrospinal fluid.
