Popis: Background: Studies reported that evaluating the interleukin serum level of MS and NMO patients is helpful for differentiating these two diseases from each other. This study aimed to compare the level of IL-6 and IL-17 in MS and NMO patients and healthy subjects. Methods: This study is a case control study that evaluated the serum level of IL-6 and IL-17 in MS and NMO patients in comparison to controls in patients who referred to Kashani hospital clinics. The level of serum IL-6 and IL-17 were measured by ELISA test in all patients. Participants were divided in to three groups include MS patients, NMO patients and controls and the level of IL-6 and IL-17 were compared in this three groups. Results: Mean of serum level of IL-6 in the NMO group was significantly lower than MS and healthy subject (P=0.02 for NMO and MS, P=0.001 for NMO and healthy subjects) but there was no significant difference between MS and healthy subjects (P=0.09). The mean of serum level of IL-17 in the MS and NMO were significantly higher than healthy subjects (P
