ABSTRACT
Neuromyelitis optica is an autoimmune astrocytopathy of the central nervous system mainly characterized by recurrent episodes of optic neuritis and acute transverse myelitis. Although the exact etiology and pathogenesis of NMO remain to be established, complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors are thought to be involved in its development. Studies have shown that the pathogenesis of NMO is closely related to gut microbiome, and the content of clostridium perfringens in gut microbiome of NMO patients was significantly increased. This article mainly reviews the correlation between the neuromyelitis optica and clostridium perfringens, in order to further clarify the pathogenesis of NMO and provide reference for clinical treatment.
