Furthermore, the outcome of patients negative for CSF-specific OCB was significantly better in comparison to the OCB positive patients, as assessed by Expanded Disability Status Scale change (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that latitude could explain some of the inconsistencies in OCB status reported in different populations. The study confirms that OCB positivity in MS is associated with a worse long-term prognosis.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:33 AEDT ]]> Adult encephalitis surveillance: experiences from an Australian prospective sentinel site study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24932 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:20 AEDT ]]>
