 Neuroimmunological disease consists of diverse disease in which dysregulated immune cells attack either the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve) or peripheral nervous system (neuromuscular junction and peripheral nerve). Among those involving the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis is the most widely known disease. However, a considerable number of patients suffer from neuroimmunological diseases other than multiple sclerosis, such as neuromyelitis optica with aquaporin4-IgG or MOG-antibody associated encephalomyelitis, which differ in their treatment and prognosis.
