Charcot's triad is two clinical indicators discovered by Jean-Martin Charcot, both of which relate to separate diseases. One pertains to multiple sclerosis while the other refers to ascending cholangitis. Charcot's triads are named for Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893), the French neurologist who first described the combinations of signs in relation to these diseases.
