Oligoclonal bands as predictors of multiple sclerosis in clinically isolated syndrome
Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) is the first episode of inflammatory and demyelinating symptoms. According to the classification criteria of multiple sclerosis (MS) from 2013, CIS is defined as the first clinical manifestation of the disease. McDonald's 2010 criteria, considered the gold sta...
