Recovery of Paramyxovirus from the jejunum of patients with multiple sclerosis

I Prasad et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Paramyxovirus, presumably measles, has been recovered by cocultivation or cell-fusion techniques from jejunal biopsy specimens of 6 consecutive patients with multiple sclerosis. Virus has been identified by immunofluorescence of antigen in infected HEp-2 and BSC-1 cells, by electron microscopy, and by haemagglutination of rhesus-monkey erythrocytes.
