Title: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MS


1
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)
2
CASE STUDY
  • 30 year old white female presents to family
    physician with acute loss of vision in left eye
  • Referred to neurologist
  • Diagnosis of optic neuritis
  • Treated with IV corticosteroids for 5 days
  • Normal vision over next 3 weeks
  • Family history (mother)
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Multiple lesions in white matter of brain under
    cortex and around ventricles

3
CASE STUDY
  • 3 years later
  • Muscle weakness on left side of face and fatigue
  • Radiology (MRI with gadolinium)
  • New lesions in left middle cerebellar peduncle
    and pons
  • Laboratory (CSF from lumbar puncture)
  • 12 lymphocytes/uL
  • IgG index of 1.2
  • Oligoclonal bands (high resolution protein
    electrophoresis)
  • 2 bands in gamma region of CSF and no bands in
    gamma region of serum
  • Diagnosis of MS
  • Treatment with 5 day course of IV
    methylprednisolone and weekly IM interferon-beta
    (Avonex)

4
CASE STUDY
  • 3 years later
  • Clinical symptoms
  • Weakness in left hand and left leg
  • Slurred speech, nystagmus, ataxia and fatigue
  • Laboratory
  • Myelin basic protein (serum)
  • 3.4 ng/mL
  • Treatment
  • 5 day course of IV methylprednisolone
  • Weekly IM interferon-beta (Avonex) continued

5
CASE STUDY
  • Eight months later
  • Clinical symptoms recurred
  • Laboratory
  • Myelin basic protein (serum)
  • 4.1 ng/mL
  • Treatment
  • IFN-beta (Avonex) stopped
  • High dose IV methylprednisolone and
    cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) monthly for 3 months
    then quarterly
  • Following 9 months therapy
  • Asymptomatic
  • No new lesions on gadolinium MRI

6
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)
  • Chronic unpredictable disease of CNS
  • Tends to follow certain patterns (clinical
    courses)
  • Initial symptoms 20 to 40 years
  • Not contagious
  • Rarely fatal
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Characterized by patches (plaques) of
    demyelination and inflammation of myelin sheath
    of axons and degeneration of axons in white
    matter of CNS

ETIOLOGY OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)
  • Complex with multiple causal factors
  • Environmental agents
  • Viruses (EBV, HHV-6, measles virus, CDV)
  • Bacteria (Chlamydophilia pneumoniae)
  • Chemicals (organic solvents)
  • UV light
  • Genetic predisposition
  • HLA-DR2
  • Parent to child
  • Geographic predisposition
  • Age

10
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
  • Female to male ratio of 21
  • Prevalence of 11000 population
  • Northern Europe
  • Continental North America
  • 350,000 to 400,000 in US

  • Incidence in US of 200 to 300 cases/week
  • Disease prevalence
  • Caucasians African Americans Asians

11
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)
  • Hemisphere gradients for prevalence
  • North to south in northern hemisphere
  • South to north in southern hemisphere
  • Prevalence gradients in Northern Hemisphere
  • North of 37th parallel (125 cases/100,000
    population)
  • South of 37th parallel (70 cases/100,000
    population)
  • Migration risk
  • Geographic move and risk for developing disease

  • Inuit, Lapps, American Indians, Aborigines, Maoris

18
PATTERNS (CLINICAL COURSES) OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
  • Relapsing-Remitting (85)
  • Relaspes (attacks, exacerbations) followed by
    remission (rest periods)
  • Attack symptoms (old may flare, new may appear)
  • Secondary Progressive (50)
  • Most common course following RR
  • Primary Progressive (10)
  • Older patients
  • Progressive-Relapsing (5)
