Multiple Sclerosis (MS, Encephalomyelitis disseminata) ist the most common inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The first clinical manifestation peaks in the 3rd-4th decade. 2.5 million Young adults are affected worldwide. In Germany the prevalence rate reaches approx. 100 patients per 100,000 inhabitants. Females are more frequently affected (2-3:1). The underlying causes of the disease are not sufficiently explored yet. The genetic backgrounds as well as environmental factors are involved. An autoimmune mediated process, driven by activated T-lymphocytes and macrophages, leads to inflammatory demyelination and axonal loss.
