Kountouris D.2 Drossos Th., Papatriantafillou M, Liapis A,and Siani A11Pammakaristos General Hospital, Iakovaton 43,11144, Athens, Greece 2Neurological Medical Center,Athens, Greece The purpose if this study is to evaluate the concentration of vitamin B12 in the serum of patients of multiple sclerosis in relation with neurological clinical symptomatology and the effect of B12 on MCV and LDH. The serum of 57 patients with known diseases was evaluated (age 17-54). B12 was measured with immunoenzymatic assay MCV from blood examination and LDH with photometric assay. Clinical neurological evaluation was performed on Kurtzke score. The results and the statistical analysis were as follows:
Table 1.
B12
m=532
sd=450.6
se=82.27
MCV
m=89.9
sd=7.28
se=1.24
LDH
in=161.8
sd=105
se=6.54
The levels of measured parameters in patients with multiple sclerosis were between normal limits. In no patients was found any indication of megaloblastic anemia. No correlation between B12 levels in patients`s serum and gravity of patients symptoms was found. LDH did not appear any variation. Conclusively B12 as a therapeutic agent in patients with multiple sclerosis can help only as a secondary choice and always like a complex of B1 and B6.

Στη Βιονευρολογική πάντα έχουμε προτεραιότητα την καταγραφή και με σαφήνεια την αποτύπωση ψυχολογικών παραγόντων που αφορούν τον ασθενή με διάφορες τόσο ψυχολογικές μεθόδους αλλά όσο και εργαστηριακές, προκειμένου να ξεχωρίζουμε τις ατομικές ιδιότητες σε σχέση με το φυσικό περιβάλλον, όπως και σε σχέση με ομαδικές καταστάσεις Περισσότερα...
