There may be an increasing incidence of multiple sclerosis in South Africa. All newly-diagnosed white Afrikaans-speaking patients from the Pretoria area were examined over a 12-month period and 5 new cases were diagnosed. This is a highly significant rise over the expected 0,2/100 000/year (P less than 0,001).
南非多发性硬化症的发病率可能呈上升趋势。在12个月的时间里，对所有来自比勒陀利亚地区新确诊的讲南非荷兰语的白人患者进行了检查，确诊了5例新病例。这比预期的每年0.2/10万的发病率有显著上升（P小于0.001）。
