Differentiating neurosarcoidosis from multiple sclerosis using combined analysis of basic CSF parameters and MRZ reaction

Abstract

Combined evaluation of basic CSF parameters and MRZ reaction is powerful in differentiating neurosarcoidosis from MS, with moderate to severe pleocytosis and Q_Alb elevation and absence of intrathecal IgG synthesis as useful rule-in parameters and positive MRZ reaction as a rule-out parameter for neurosarcoidosis.
