The aim of this study was to investigate using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the relationship between NMO and the two causative agents of polio-like disease, mumps virus [9] and enteroviruses, which have specific affinity for the central nervous system. PCR tests for detection of the mumps virus and the enterovirus genomes CSF samples were tested for the presence of the mumps virus and enterovirus genomes by a nested PCR method (PCR-FMU), as described elsewhere [13, 14] , blindly with respect to clinical information and the results of NMO-IgG or anti-aquaporin-4 antibody assays. ./cache/cord-274656-dngumjns.txt ./txt/cord-274656-dngumjns.txt
