motor neurone disease
|
and this diagnosis must

There must be a definite
|
diagnosis of Multiple
|
Sclerosis confirmed by a
|
neurologist. The
|
diagnosis must be
|
supported by all of the
|
following:
|
• Investigations that
|
unequivocally confirm
|
the diagnosis to be
|
Multiple Sclerosis;
|
• Any permanent residual
|
neurological deficit
|
confirmed by a
|
neurologist at 3 months;
|
and
|
Advanced Stage1
|
• Human bone marrow

|
Motor neurone disease
|
characterised by
|
progressive degeneration
|
of corticospinal tracts and
|
anterior horn cells or
|
bulbar efferent neurones
|
which include spinal
|
muscular atrophy,
|
progressive bulbar palsy,
|
amyotrophic lateral
|
sclerosis and primary
|
lateral sclerosis. This
|
diagnosis must be
|
confirmed by a neurologist
|
as progressive and
|
resulting in permanent
|
neurological deficit.
|
Multiple Sclerosis

The definite diagnosis of
|
Multiple Sclerosis, and
|
must be supported by all
|
of the following:
|
• Investigations which
|
unequivocally confirm
|
the diagnosis to be
|
Multiple Sclerosis; and
|
• Multiple neurological
|
deficits which occurred
|
over a continuous period
|
of at least 6 months.
|
Other causes of
|
neurological damage such
|
as SLE and HIV are
|
excluded.
