Controversies across continents. Report from the MS Forum Symposium, September 2002, Baltimore, USA
Abstract:
The personal views of speakers from North America and Europe concerning the diagnosis and management of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) were presented at an MS Forum symposium before ACTRIM/ECTRIMS Meeting in Baltimore, USA. There were more areas of agreement than controversy and the overall impression was that MS is managed similarly across the continents. Four topics were discussed: diagnosing the clinically isolated syndrome; guidelines for using disease-modifying therapy; people who fail to respond to disease-modifying treatment; and treating the patient with rapid deterioration to disability.
