Abstract
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad inflamatoria, crónica y degenerativa del sistema nervioso central (SNC), de etiología desconocida y de patogenia autoinmune. Afecta preferentemente a jóvenes entre los 20-40 años, sobre todo a mujeres en una relación de 3:1. La prevalencia en España es de 80-125 casos por 100.000 habitantes por género y franja de edad. En la última década se ha observado un aumento de la prevalencia y la incidencia de esta patología en Europa, en la cuenca mediterránea y presumiblemente en todo el mundo. Es la enfermedad neurológica crónica más frecuente en adultos jóvenes en Europa y Norteamérica; y la causa más frecuente de discapacidad neurológica en gente joven y de mediana edad en países desarrollados después de los accidentes de tráfico. El origen etiopatogénico de la EM no es completamente conocido, se piensa en un origen multifactorial, con participación e interacción de diferentes factores ambientales (virus, niveles de vitamina D, consumo de tabaco, exceso dietético de sal, obesidad, vacunaciones, traumatismos, estrés, hábitos nutricionales, microbiota intestinal y consumo de tóxicos) en un paciente genéticamente predispuesto (fuerte asociación con HLA DRB1*1501), que originarían en un mismo sujeto un amplio espectro de alteraciones en la respuesta inmunitaria, que a su vez serían las causantes de la inflamación presente en las lesiones de la EM...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, chronic and degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), of unknown etiology and of autoimmune pathogenesis. It preferably affects young people between 20-40 years old, especially women in a ratio of 3: 1. The prevalence in Spain is 80-125 cases per 100,000 inhabitants by gender and age group. In the last decade, an increase in the prevalence and incidence of this disease has been observed in Europe, in the Mediterranean basin and presumably throughout the world. It is the most frequent chronic neurological disease in young adults in Europe and North America; and the most frequent cause of neurological disability in young and middle-aged people in developed countries after traffic accidents. The etiopathogenic origin of MS is not completely known, it is thought to be of a multifactorial origin, with the participation and interaction of different environmental factors (virus, levels of vitamin D, tobacco consumption, dietary excess of salt, obesity, vaccinations, trauma, stress, nutritional habits, intestinal microbiota and toxic consumption) in a genetically predisposed patient (strong association with HLA DRB1 * 1501), which would cause abroad spectrum of alterations in the immune response in the same subject, which in turn would be the cause of the inflammation present in MS lesions...
