Radiological and Laboratory Features of Multiple Sclerosis Patients With Immunosuppressive Therapy: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in Japan

Conclusion: In this cohort of Japanese patients clinically diagnosed with MS, radiological and serological findings atypical of MS were observed more frequently in patients treated with CS/IS than in those with MS-DMDs as a part of MS therapy. The absence of contrast-enhancing lesions typical of MS and positivity for serum autoantibodies were independent factors strongly associated with CS/IS use.
