Abstract

The results of clinical and modern immunological studies (assessment of T- and B-lymphocytes in the blood, cerebrospinal fluid and lymph) promoted the authors to operate (drainage of the thoracic lymphatic duct) on six patients with disseminated sclerosis to try to control their pathologically altered immune homeostasis. A rationale for a new type of pathogenetic therapy of progressive disseminated sclerosis which is tolerant to many therapeutic methods employed previously including immunodepression and immunostimulation is presented.
