Multiple sclerosis is an acquired, chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease of the brain and the spinal cord characterized by the presence of multiple discrete areas of myelin loss within the CNS and subsequent axonal degeneration.
A multiple sclerosis attack is usually characterized by any neurological disturbance with minimum 24 hours duration in the absence of fever or infection.
Multiple sclerosis is defined clinically by the evidence from history and examination, and neurological investigation showing lesions within the central nervous system that are disseminated in time and space.
The goals of therapy in multiple sclerosis are to reduce the rate of disease/disability progression, decrease the number of relapses, and help reduce development of new lesions.
