News Correspondent, abptakmaa, Kolkata, 21st August 2019 : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease characterized initially by several short-lived episodes of blurred vision, weakness of limbs, unsteady gait with remissions in between. After a few years the individual becomes progressively bedbound and ultimately die. Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorders have similar course of illness but in general more aggressive than MS. “Auto-immune Encephalitis” comprise several immune-based inflammatory disorders of brain.
