“…The high frequency of negative results for quantitative analysis of IgG in such group, may be related to the use of steroids. It decreases the IgG values but not so frequently the presence of oligoclonal bands 16 . An other reason for this observation may be related to the significant shorter duration of disease in the probable MS cases.…”

“…Redução quantitativa na síntese intratecal de IgG pelo uso de agentes imunoterapêuticos tais como corticosteróides tem sido previamente documentada 12 . A concentração de IgG permanece reduzida no LCR por período de pelo menos 3 meses, enquanto no soro os valores são restabelecidos mais rapidamente.…”

“…Nenhuma correlação foi observada entre o desaparecimento das bandas IgG oligoclonais e o uso de imunossupressores. Existem alguns estudos que demostram o efeito a curto e longo prazo do uso de metilprednisolona na diminuição do número de bandas no LCR de alguns pacientes 12 . Entretanto, estes resultados não são uniformemente observados.…”
