Brazilian Consensus for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis: Brazilian Academy of Neurology and Brazilian Committee on Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract: The expanding therapeutic arsenal in multiple sclerosis (MS) has allowed for more effective and personalized treatment, but the choice and management of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) is becoming increasingly complex. In this context, experts from the Brazilian Committee on Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis and the Neuroimmunology Scientific Department of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology have convened to establish this Brazilian Consensus for the Treatment of MS, based on their understanding t… Show more

“…The prevalence ratio of multiple sclerosis from women to men has increased sharply in recent decades (2.3 to 3.5:1), which indicates a significant increase in multiple sclerosis among women (Harbo et al, 2013). In Brazil, prevalence ranges from 5 to 20 individuals per 100,000 inhabitants (Marques et al, 2018), among which are women of childbearing age. A retrospective analysis conducted in the public healthy registry between 2000 and 2015 found a total of 28,401 MS patients treated in the country.…”

This disease is presented under three main types: Relapse-remitting (RRMS), Secondary progressive (SPMS) and Primary progressive (PPMS) 2 .…”

“…Este processo leva a um bloqueio ou atraso das informações enviadas pelo cérebro, e, consequentemente a diferentes sintomas neurológicos. A doença se manifesta por surtos intermitentes na forma clínica denominada remitente-recorrente, que pode evoluir para a forma secundária progressiva, ou se manifestar diretamente na forma progressiva primária (DENIC et al 2011;MARQUES et al, 2018).…”

“…O mecanismo imunopatológico ainda é considerado como dependente da imunidade celular, com células T auto-reativas (YADAV et al, 2015). Conceitualmente a EM é considerada uma doença complexa, onde fatores ambientais e o perfil de susceptibilidade genética têm igual importância para desencadear mecanismos celulares que irão danificar a bainha de mielina, causando os sinais e sintomas clínicos observados na doença (MARQUES et al, 2018).…”
