    Abstract

    Two groups of 85 and 42 ambulatory patients with moderately advanced non-remitting multiple sclerosis were treated for six to 14 and three to six years with daily azathioprine. Less than 10% of these patients became confined to a wheelchair. This far exceeds any possible result in a group of non-remitting multiple sclerosis patients not so treated.
