Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease entity primarily affecting the central nervous system. The signs and symptoms of the disease are highly variable in character, number and duration. These are discussed extensively. A brief overview of the disease is presented including some hypothetical considerations regarding pathophysiology. Other than the recent documentation of a hot bath test, a review of literature found few useful laboratory tests available for diagnostic determination of MS. Finally, the author provides information about various treatment modalities. The emphasis for the NP's management of MS patients is placed upon individualized programs of care.
多发性硬化症是一种主要影响中枢神经系统的慢性疾病实体。该疾病的体征和症状在特征、数量和持续时间上差异很大。对此进行了广泛讨论。本文简要概述了该疾病，包括一些关于病理生理学的假设性思考。除了近期有关于热水浴试验的文献记载外，文献综述发现几乎没有可用于多发性硬化症诊断测定的有用实验室检查。最后，作者提供了有关各种治疗方式的信息。执业护士对多发性硬化症患者的管理重点在于个性化的护理方案。
