Devic's Neuromyelitis Optica:A Prospective Study of Seven Patients Treated with Prednisone and Azathioprine
Neurol 51:1219-1220, Mandler,R.N.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Seven newly diagnosed patients with Devic's neuromyelitis optica were treated with long-term prednisone and azathioprine, and were followed every 2 months for at least 18 months. Their Expanded Disability Status Scale score improved significantly (mean at baseline, 9; mean at 18 months, 3; p < 0.0005), and no relapses occurred for more than 18 months. Multicenter controlled studies are needed to prove the efficacy of this therapeutic regimen.
