Published in 2018 at "JAMA Neurology"

DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2017.3196

Abstract: Importance Antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG (MOG-IgG) are increasingly detected in patients with non–multiple sclerosis–related demyelination, some of whom manifest a neuromyelitis optica (NMO) phenotype. Cortical involvement, encephalopathy, and seizures are rare in aquaporin… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Journal of Neuroimmunology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroim.2021.577666

Abstract: Rituximab (a B-cell depleting monoclonal antibody) is increasingly utilized for treatment of different immune-mediated neurologic disorders, including aquaporin-4-IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-IgG-NMOSD). After an initial treatment course, the drug is generally reinfused when peripheral… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Nature Communications"

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-23267-w

Abstract: Although the COVID-19 pandemic has left no country untouched there has been limited research to understand clinical and immunological responses in African populations. Here we characterise patients hospitalised with suspected (PCR-negative/IgG-positive) or confirmed (PCR-positive) COVID-19,… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Neuro-Ophthalmology"

DOI: 10.1080/01658107.2019.1607883

Abstract: ABSTRACT Optic perineuritis can be a manifestation of infectious and systemic inflammatory disorders, but the majority of cases are idiopathic. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG-positive optic neuritis has been reported to be associated with optic nerve… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "European Journal of Neurology"

DOI: 10.1111/ene.70243

Abstract: Aquaporin‐4‐IgG‐positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4‐IgG+ NMOSD) can cause significant disability after a single attack. Long‐term immunotherapy reduces disability accumulation, but the choice of first‐line therapy varies. In the United Kingdom, rituximab is typically used… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Immunology"

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.628024

Abstract: Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been investigated in many autoimmune conditions as a biomarker of inflammation and/or disease activity. The role of NLR in AQP4-IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is far from clear.… read more here.
