It is\na chronic neurological disorder characterized primarily by central nervous system (CNS)\ninflammation, myelin loss, and axonal pathology, resulting in progressive neurological\ndysfunction. Initially, inflammation is transient and partial remyelination occurs. MS is presumed\nto be an autoimmune disorder arising from complex interactions of both environmental and\ngenetic factors.
