Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, usually progressive
disease of the central nervous system in which the
immune system attacks and destroys the structure,
and subsequently the function, of nerve cells. Approximately
400,000 Americans have MS, and every week about
200 people are newly diagnosed; most are between
the ages of 20 and 50, and two to three times as
many are women compared to men. Worldwide, MS may
affect 2.5 million individuals.
