- Reducing infection risk in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders: a Brazilian reference center's approach(2022) GOMES, Ana Beatriz Ayroza Galvao Ribeiro; FEO, Lucas Bueno; SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; DISSEROL, Caio Cesar Diniz; PAOLILO, Renata Barbosa; LARA, Amanda Nazareth; TONACIO, Adriana Coracini; MENDES, Maria Fernanda; PEREIRA, Samira Luisa Apostolos; CALLEGARO, DagobertoBackground Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are the most common autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). They present chronic relapsing courses that demand treatment with disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) to prevent inflammatory activity. Disease-modifying drugs lead to immunomodulation or immunosuppression through diverse mechanisms (e.g., shifting lymphocyte and cytokine profile, suppressing specific lymphocyte subpopulations). Thus, patients are more prone to infectious complications and associated worsening of disease. Objective To present feasible strategies for mitigating the infection risk of MS and NMOSD treated patients. Methods Targeted literature review concerning the management of infection risk with an emphasis on vaccination, therapy-specific measures, and particularities of the Brazilian endemic infectious diseases' scenario. Conclusion We propose a vaccination schedule, infectious screening routine, and prophylactic measures based on the current scientific evidence. Awareness of emergent tropical diseases is necessary due to evidence of demyelinating events and possible parainfectious cases of MS and NMOSD.
- Brazilian Consensus for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis: Brazilian Academy of Neurology and Brazilian Committee on Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis(2018) MARQUES, Vanessa Daccach; PASSOS, Giordani Rodrigues dos; MENDES, Maria Fernando; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; LANA-PEIXOTO, Marco Aurelio; COMINI-FROTA, Elizabeth Regina; VASCONCELOS, Claudia Cristina Ferreira; SATO, Douglas Kazutoshi; FERREIRA, Maria Lucia Brito; PAROLIN, Monica Koncke Fiuza; DAMASCENO, Alfredo; GRZESIUK, Anderson Kuntz; MUNIZ, Andre; MATTA, Andre Palma da Cunha; OLIVEIRA, Bianca Etelvina Santos de; TAUI, Carlos Bernardo; MACIEL, Damacio Ramon Kaimen; DINIZ, Denise Sisteroli; CORREA, Eber Castro; CORONETTI, Fernando; JORGE, Frederico M.

In this context, experts from the Brazilian Committee on Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis and the Neuroimmunology Scientific Department of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology have convened to establish this Brazilian Consensus for the Treatment of MS, based on their understanding that neurologists should be able to prescribe MS DMTs according to what is better for each patient, based on up-to-date evidence and practice. We herein propose practical recommendations for the treatment of MS, with the main focus on the choice and management of DMTs, as well as present a review of the scientific rationale supporting therapeutic strategies in MS.
- Management of central nervous system demyelinating diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: a practical approach(2020) APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira Luisa; SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; DISSEROL, Caio Cesar Diniz; FEO, Lucas Bueno; MATOS, Aline de Moura Brasil; SCHOEPS, Vinicius Andreoli; GOMES, Ana Beatriz Ayroza Galvao Ribeiro; BOAVENTURA, Mateus; MENDES, Maria Fernanda; CALLEGARO, DagobertoBackground: The novelcoronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic poses a potential threattopatients with autoimmune disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Such patients are usually treated with immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive agents, which may tamper with the organism's normal response to infections. Currently, noconsensus has been reached on how to manage MS and NMOSD patients during the pandemic. Objective: To discuss strategies to manage those patients. Methods: We focus on how to 1) reduce COVID-19 infection risk, such as social distancing, telemedicine, and wider interval between laboratory testing/imaging; 2) manage relapses, such as avoiding treatment of mild relapse and using oral steroids; 3) manage disease-modifying therapies, such as preference for drugs associated with lower infection risk (interferons, glatiramer, teriflunomide, and natalizumab) and extended-interval dosing of natalizumab, when safe; 4) individualize the chosen MS induction-therapy (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, alemtuzumab, and cladribine); 5) manage NMOSD preventive therapies, including initial therapy selection and current treatment maintenance; 6) manage MS/NMOSD patients infected with COVID-19. Conclusions: In the future, real-world case series of MS/NMOSD patients infected with COVID-19 will help us define the best management strategies. For the time being, we rely on expert experience and guidance.
