Description
Summary:Since the first publication of 6 cases by Singh and Gupta,[1] there has been increasing number of publication from India, due to improving diagnostic facility including pathologically cases by Dastur and Singhal. [11] In another publication, Bansil et al. looked at environmental risk factors in Indian patients and reported no difference in prior foreign travel, surgeries, blood transfusions, clinical chicken pox and mumps infections and exposure to cats/farm animals as risk factors. [35] Malli et al. evaluated the risk factors for MS (139 MD and 278 control) and concluded with measles (P< 0.007), vegetarian diet (P< 0.001, higher educational status (P< 0.0001) and urban living (P< 0.0001) as risk factors while Helicobacter pylori infection (P< 0.001) was protective.
