[Effect of exposure to different temperatures on the clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis].

Negative effect of thermal procedures (hot bath taking or intake of 1-2 glasses of hot water) was established while examining 105 patients with disseminated sclerosis. The patients' status worsening was marked also during sharp cooling, whereas improvement during moderate cooling without shivering. A definite diagnostic significance of thermal procedures in disseminated sclerosis is pointed out.
