       This study had its limitations, as is pointed out in the
       abstract, and the authors have numerous connections with major
       drug companies. However, these connections are very commonly
       seen in medical reports like this one.
       The natalizumab group's results were somewhat better than the
       AHSCT group's. Notably,
       [quote]In the AHSCT group, three patients (7.7%) experienced
       febrile neutropenia, nine (23%) had serum sickness, six (15%)
       required ICU admission, and 36 (92%) developed complications
       after discharge, including 21 infections.[/quote]
       [Emphasis added.]
