[Demyelinating encephalomyelitis in child native to Uzbekistan].

Demyelinizing encephalomyelitis is described in a 7-year-old Uzbek girl. The clinical picture and a wave-like course of the disease were similar to the corresponding findings observed in children with multiple sclerosis who live in the European part of the USSR although both the patient and her parents are indigenous inhabitants of Uzbekistan and have never travelled beyond the borders of the republic.
