MeSH Heading: Demyelinating Autoimmune Diseases, CNS
Tree Number(s): C10.114.375; C10.228.140.695.562; C10.314.350; C20.111.258.250
Unique ID: D020278
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020278
Annotation: for central nervous system diseases only; for demyelinating diseases of the peripheral nervous system consider POLYRADICULONEURITIS; GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME; and CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY POLYRADICULONEUROPATHY; for demyelinating autoimmune diseases of the brain or spinal cord not otherwise specified coord with BRAIN DISEASES or SPINAL CORD DISEASES
Scope Note: Conditions characterized by loss or dysfunction of myelin (see MYELIN SHEATH) in the brain, spinal cord, or optic nerves secondary to autoimmune mediated processes. This may take the form of a humoral or cellular immune response directed toward myelin or OLIGODENDROGLIA associated autoantigens.
