What is it about?
We describe the effects on neck vein flow of subjects with multiple sclerosis treated with a prolonged combined antibiotic protocol aimed at treating persistent chlamydophila pneumoniae infection.

Why is it important?
Obstruction of blood flow in the neck veins is a common finding in multiple sclerosis. I have previously published the theory that the intracellular human parasite Chlamydophila pneumoniae is involved in this venous disease and treatment of the parasite may improve the condition of those with multiple sclerosis.
Perspectives
This study is important as it shows the possible benefit of the combined antibiotic treatment in a measurable way (blood flows) for the first time. It opens the way for further research into an infective vascular cause of multiple sclerosis.
