|Prompt=A 40 year old Caucasian female patient presents to her physician's office complaining of one episode of self-resolved diplopia.  The patient had a similar episode 4 weeks prior to presentation that also self-resolved.  Physical examination is unremarkable with a normal neurological exam.  Brain MRI shows several periventricular plaques.  Which of the following other disease descriptions share the same HLA subtype association as the patient's condition?

Right Answer RightAnswer::D
Explanation [[Explanation::Multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune neurological disease, is characterized by episodic demyelination of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) and axonal destruction in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which gradually debilitates the patient until death. MS frequently affects middle-aged Caucasian females and manifests as numerous periventricular plaques upon cranial MRI. MS is associated with HLA-DR2.

Several immunologic diseases are associated with different HLA-subtypes. The HLA-DR2 subtype is associated with MS, hay fever, systemic lupus erytheromatosus (SLE), and Goodpasture's syndrome, characterized by antibodies against glomerular basement membranes (anti-GBM).
Educational Objective: The HLA-DR2 subtype is associated with multiple MS, hay fever, systemic lupus erytheromatosus (SLE), and Goodpasture syndrome.
