Abstract
Abstract. A new role of B-cells in pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), their relations with B-cells in
development of inflammation and probable mechanisms of advanced therapeutic intervention in order to reach B-cell depletion are subject to discussion in present article. Here we describe a clinical case of MS with a resistant clinical course, and results of anti B-cell treatment. To attain maximal clinical effect, a novel therapeutic regimen (a combination of rituximab and mitozantrone) was applied. Clinical, radiological and laboratory methods were used to substantiate the efficiency of treatment.
