Multiple sclerosis – epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation - a literature review
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
At present, multiple sclerosis is regarded as disease in which the immune system fights its own cells, in this case the nervous tissue. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 2.5 million people in the world suffer from multiple sclerosis, of which 40-60 come from Poland. The costs incurred in relation to the disease are high due to the duration of the disease, a quick loss of the ability to work by people suffering from it, and due to the high costs of immuno-suppressive treatment and broad medical care.
