.... Paraclinical tests (evoked-potential studies, magnetic resonance imaging) and abnormalities of cerebrospinal fluid (oligoclonal bands, elevated IgG levels) are nonspecific and therefore, by themselves, not diagnostic. The increasing availability of such tests has unfortunately led to their use as a substitute...
