Multiple sclerosis and pregnancy

A Lorenzi 1, H Ford 1
PMCID: PMC1742473  PMID: 12185217

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis causes disability in young adults and, like most autoimmune diseases, affects women more commonly than men. The disease can therefore present at a time when many have, or are considering, starting a family. The effect of pregnancy on the outcome of multiple sclerosis is reviewed and the management of pregnant women who have multiple sclerosis is discussed.
