Evolution of diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis

Abstract: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that occurs primarily in young adults. There is no single diagnostic test to recognize the disease. The diagnostic criteria, based on clinical examination and laboratory tests, have changed considerably over time. The first guidelines involved only the results of the patient's neurological examination. The diagnostic criteria developed by Poser in 1983 were based largely on the results of additional tests, including visual evok… Show more

“…The methods available to provide evidence for MS during the diagnostic process have changed over time, in particular with the development of, and improvements to, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques 22 . Prior to the development of detailed MRIs, examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for the purposes of ascertaining whether levels of immunoglobulin production were increased was one of the fundamental diagnostic tests for MS 22 . The alterations and evolution of diagnostic criteria over time can potentially impact the characteristics of those defined as having MS, which makes comparisons over time more complicated.…”

“…Por esses motivos, em 2005 (POLMAN et al, 2005) A RM é extremamente útil no diagnóstico da EM e funciona como base e referência para o tratamento da doença. Essa importância se deve à alta sensibilidade do método na detecção de lesões, já que esta detecta alterações em aproximadamente 87 a 100% dos pacientes, sendo que na tomografia computadorizada essas detecções caem para 30 a 52% dos pacientes (PRZYBEK et al, 2015).…”

“…Essas características são observadas por cortes cerebrais, mas também são facilmente identificadas através de RM. O diagnóstico da EM por meio de RM deve ser somado à história clínica do paciente, de modo a associar os sintomas com a imagem, pois mesmo não sendo fáceis de identificar e relacionar à doença, os sinais e sintomas não relacionados anatomicamente e servem de base para o diagnóstico da EM (PRZYBEK et al, 2015).…”
