Overall, patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis who receive treatment report better outcomes than those who are simply observed. However, a sizeable percentage of patients feel that their symptoms following corticosteroid treatment are worse than pre-relapse symptoms and that treatment had no effect or worsened symptoms. Patient perceptions of relapse treatment deserve more attention, and more effective treatment options are needed.

Which immune cells matter? The immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which is believed to be immune-mediated. While CD4+ T cells have been the main suspects for years, there is ample evidence that other immune cells (including those of the innate immune system) play a contributing or regulating role in this disease. After a general introduction, this review focuses on different immune cell subsets implicated in MS pathogenesis and on current and future possibilities to target them for therapeutic use.unknown.
2010 McDonald criteria in a pediatric cohort: is positivity at onset associated with a more aggressive multiple sclerosis course?
The 2010 McDonald criteria allow the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) at first attack in children and adults provided that the first attack symptoms are typical of MS and that the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conforms to prescribed features.

Epidemiological data suggest a role for common viruses in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), and recent data showed a negative association of past cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on pediatric MS risk. CMV is negatively associated with adult-onset MS pathology, consistent with results from a study on pediatric MS cases. It remains to be shown whether this negative association is due to a true protective effect of CMV infection on MS risk.
