A 23-year-old woman suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) was given a course of 6 injections (0.5 U) of mumps transfer factor (TF) at 2-weekly intervals. The patient's symptoms improved dramatically and during the 10 months since treatment was instituted, no exacerbations have occurred. The possible aetiological role of paramyxoviruses in MS and the use of TF in the treatment of the disease are discussed. MS is however, a disease of exacerbations and spontaneous remissions, and despite our promising findings in this patient we wish to refrain from hailing mumps TF as a possible cure for this notorious disease.
一名患有多发性硬化症（MS）的23岁女性，每隔两周接受一次共6针（每针0.5单位）的腮腺炎转移因子（TF）注射治疗。患者症状显著改善，自开始治疗后的10个月里未出现病情加重情况。文中讨论了副粘病毒在MS中可能的病因学作用以及TF在该病治疗中的应用。然而，MS是一种病情会加重和自发缓解的疾病，尽管我们在该患者身上取得了令人鼓舞的发现，但我们仍不想宣称腮腺炎TF是治疗这种难治疾病的可能方法。
