MeSH Tree Location(s) for Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System

Scope Note:
Disorders caused by cellular or humoral immune responses primarily directed towards nervous system autoantigens. The immune response may be directed towards specific tissue components (e.g., myelin) and may be limited to the central nervous system (e.g., MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS) or the peripheral nervous system (e.g., GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME).

Förklaring:
Sjukdomstillstånd orsakade av cellförmedlade eller humorala immunsvar riktade mot autoantigener i nervsystemet. Reaktionen kan beröra specifika vävnadstyper (t ex myelin) och vara begränsad till det c entrala nervsystemet (som vid multipel skleros) eller det perifera (som vid Guillain-Barresyndromet).
