Choose the correct statement:
a) Multiple sclerosis (MS) is more common in young children than in adolescents
b) Acute disseminating encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is usually preceded by a viral illness
c) Demyelinating disease results in damage to the myelin sheath and axons.
d) Treatment of multiple sclerosis and acute disseminating encephalomyelitis with steroids improves long term prognosis but not time to recovery
Answer
Answer b. Acute disseminating encephalomyelitis is usually preceded by viral illness. Multiple sclerosis typically affects adolescents. Demyelinating disease results in damage to the myelin sheath of neurons accompanied by relative preservation of the axons. Treatment of multiple sclerosis and acute disseminating encephalomyelitis with steroids shortens time to recovery and relapses but has no effect on long-term course.
