Multiple Sclerosis

Bys: Howard L. Weiner and Vijay K. Kuchoo

Book Overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the myelin sheaths that surround nerve cells, producing a variety of neurological symptoms such as limb weakness and sensory loss. In most cases, the disease progressively worsens over time, leading to severe impairments in mobility and cognition. Various medications may slow this progression, but the disease is currently incurable and unpreventable.
