Errors and mistakes in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
- MS centrum při Neurologickém odděleni KZ a.s. – Nemocnice Teplice o. z., Teplice
The late establishment of the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis results in delay in treatment initiation, affecting the course of the disease, and thus in poorer prognosis. In the case of a false positive diagnosis, in addition to funds being expended inappropriately, the patient is exposed to the risk of adverse drug effects. Particular attention has to be paid to patient history data analysis, proper assessment of clinical evaluation, and realistic interpretation of auxiliary examinations.
