Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease that damages the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is a chronic disease, caused when the body’s immune system attacks the central nervous system, damaging the myelin sheath the protective layer covering the nerves that carry signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder in which the covering of cells of brain and spinal cord is destroyed. If not treated properly cells themselves can also get damaged. Therefore, early treatment is advisable.

As per medical specialists, the disease is ancient, it has been in our country for centuries but we could only detect it for the first time some ten years back after acquiring modern equipment. Its presence in Asia was more prominent in its central and eastern parts.

Fortunately, several treatments, both oral formulation and intravenous formulations, are available in Pakistan.

Diagnosis is also delayed due to lack of availability of neurologists. Pakistan was among the countries where the incidence of the disease was low.

Cases have started surfacing quite frequently and the estimated number can be few hundred thousand.

The number of actual victims could be beyond expectations due to absence of epidemiological data and diagnosis in most part of our country. People in rural population would take any patient with unknown symptoms to a spiritual healer or a quack instead of getting proper medication.
