| Abstract: | The monthly distribution of births of people who were later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis differed significantly from that of the general population in Denmark. The multiple sclerosis patients had an excess of births in March, April, May, and June, and fewer in the other months. Infection was suggested as a possible explanation. |
