- Abstract:
- Oriented toward the practitioner and the student, this program discusses the etiology, diagnosis, clinical courses, and management of multiple sclerosis. The program achieves its objective primarily through the use of five case studies of individuals with multiple sclerosis to show the clinical course and symptoms associated with the disorder. Three of the case studies, a twenty-three-year-old female, and a forty-three and forty-one-year-old male, represent an episodic disseminated type of multiple sclerosis. The other two case studies, a twenty-three-year-old female and a forty-one-year-old woman represent atypical types of multiple sclerosis. The program emphasizes the symptoms of multiple sclerosis manifestedby these individuals. The program also provides discussion of multiple sclerosis in general and states that diagnosis can only be made with certainty at autopsy when a picture of the pathological demylenization in the central nervous system can be seen. In addition, the program provides a detailed discussion of laboratory findings, epidemiology, treatment, and the criteria for clinical diagnosis.
