Although a strikingly modem account of multiple (disseminated)
sclerosis was given by Charcot more than one hundred years ago, we
are still not sure of the precise nature of the disease, still less
of any precise mode of management. Even diagnosis is at best
'probable'. This collection of essays examines the particular
difficulties which beset the problem and have mili tated against
the solution-problems of data collection and evaluation; clinical
and biochemical vagaries and unanswered questions ; laboratory test
prediction of the disease, etc. Experts in their fields have set
out the difficulties and way forward as ther see them, and there
must necessarily be overlap or contradictions which underline our
lack of knowledge. Clearly no attempt can be made to cover more
than a very few aspects of the problem (a further volume is planned
to review other areas not covered here, in particular the
relationship between multiple sclerosis and experimental allergic
encephalo myelitis)-but it is hoped that the 'softness' of much of
the data we have to work upon will become appan!~nt. It is intended
that this volume should clearly differ from the large number of
monographs and reports of symposia dedicated to multiple sclerosis
in bringing out the shortcomings of our approaches, and in some
respects our naivities rather than our individual brilliancies.
