Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) misdiagnosis in the form of an incorrect diagnosis of MS, as well as delayed diagnosis in patients who do have MS, both influence patient clinical outcomes. Contemporary studies have reported data on factors associated with these diagnostic challenges and their frequency. Expediting diagnosis in patients with MS and reducing MS misdiagnosis in patients who do not have MS may be aided by educational efforts surrounding early MS symptoms and proper application of MS diagnostic criteria. Emerging novel MS diagnostic biomarkers may aid early and accurate diagnosis of MS in the future.
