A report is given on the working capacity of 431 patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) who were treated as inpatients at the neurologic-psychiatric clinic of the Medical Academy of Dresden in the period from 1960 to 1977. Leaving out of account the age when the disease began, the course of the disease and the symptoms, 84 per cent of the patients still alive were still able to work after 1 to 5 years, 80.1 per cent after 6 to 10 years and 75 per cent after more than 21 years. Patients with cerebral symptoms and those with an intermittent course of the disease were best suited for an integration in the working process. The largest part of the patients who had to be declared invalid was found among the agricultural workers. In 18.6 per cent of the patients, declaration of invalidity could be avoided by an appropriate workplace.
本文报告了1960年至1977年间在德累斯顿医学院神经精神科住院治疗的431例多发性硬化症（MS）患者的工作能力情况。不考虑疾病开始时的年龄、病程和症状，仍存活的患者中，84%在1至5年后仍能工作，80.1%在6至10年后仍能工作，75%在超过21年后仍能工作。有脑部症状的患者和病程呈间歇性的患者最适合融入工作流程。必须宣布为残疾的患者中，最大部分是农业工人。在18.6%的患者中，通过适当的工作场所可以避免宣布为残疾。
