 note = {Previous reports of multiple sclerosis (MS) with autoantibodies might include neuromyelitis optica (NMO). We investigated the frequency of autoreactive antibodies (AR) in both MS and NMO. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-associated autoantibodies such as anti-Sm antibodies, anti-single stranded DNA antibodies and lupus anticoagulants were only identified in MS, whereas SLE itself is more commonly associated with NMO. Moreover, when magnetic resonance imaging features between autoreactive antibody-positive (AR(+))MS and -negative (AR(-))MS were compared, AR(+)MS cases showed significantly fewer than 3 periventricular lesions compared to AR(-)MS cases. These results may indicate different pathogenetic mechanisms underlying AR(+)MS and AR(-)MS. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
