The authors investigated the frequency and quantity of intrathecal antibody synthesis against Chlamydia pneumoniae and the presence of C pneumoniae antigen in 25 children with MS. C pneumoniae genome was present in two children. In seven children an intrathecal synthesis of C pneumoniae antibodies was detected, representing only a small part of the total intrathecal immunoglobulin G, suggesting that this intrathecal synthesis is part of a polyspecific, oligoclonal immune response.
