  2. MultipleSclerosis in Latin America ?

  3. Latin America: An overview • Vast continent: over 25 m sq km • Vast latitudes • Border US and Mexico at 32o N • Southermost Argentina and Chile at 56o S • Vast spectrum of climate • Desert to sub-Antarctic • Many different regions • 36 countries • 6 territories

  4. Amerindians in Latin American population • Migration routes : • -The Bering Strait route • 30.000 years ago • from Mongolia and Siberia • -The Trans-Pacific route • 20.000 years ago • from Polynesia to South America • -The Trans-Atlantic route

  5. The origin of the Latin America populations: The Mestizos • Offspring of an European and an Amerindian or children of two mestizo parents

  6. Mulattoes and pure blacks in some Latin American countries (%)

  7. The prevalence of MS in Latin America

  8. MultipleSclerosisstudy (Chile)Barahona J. et al LACTRIMS 2004, ArqNeuropsiquiatr2004 ; 62:1:11 • Population of Chile (2002)15.050.341 inhabitants MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Estimated: • Prevalence: 11,7 : 100.000 • Incidence: 1.8 : 100.000

  9. Distribution of patientswith MS byage at the diagnosis of thedisease

  10. Easter Island (Isla de Pascua) Chile Population: 3.791 inhabitants Area: 166 Km2

  11. MultipleSclerosis in Easter Island No cases of MS in Easter Island Population: 3.791 inhabitants Area : 166 Km2 * The only case of MS in Easter Island is from a man who travelled from Chile and lived here for more than 15 years ( He died from Multiple Sclerosis 5 years ago )

  24. Other Diagnoses

  25. The mean age was 42 years • 36% male and 64% female • Unexplained symptoms were a important cause of misdiagnosis • In one large series of patients diagnosed with MS , 9% turned out not to have any organic disease • Hankey GJ et al Pseudo multiple sclerosis: a clinico-epidemiological study Clin Exp Neurol 1987 : 24 ; 15-19

  27. Diagnostic Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis Reason for Referral to a MS Center * Rate of Non - Confirmation of MS Reason for Referral to a MS Center * Rate of Non - Confirmation of MS MS possible ( Clinical findings ) 54% MS possible ( MRI findings ) 89% MRI are not a substitute for a good history and neurological examination in the diagnosis of MS J.Fleming AAN San Diego 2006 * Carmosino, Arch Neurol 2005;62:585-90

  38. Unexpected multiple sclerosis: follow-up of 30 patients with magnetic resonance imaging and clinical conversion profileC Lebrun1, C Bensa2, M Debouverie3, J De Seze4, S Wiertlievski5, B Brochet6, P Clavelou7, D Brassat8, P Labauge9, E Roullet2Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 2008;79:195-198 • Report a descriptive retrospective study ofclinical and 5 year MRI follow-up in patients with subclinicaldemyelinating lesions fulfilling MRI Barkhof–Tintorécriteria with a normal neurological examination. • 30 patientswere identified and the first brain MRI was performed for variousmedical events: headaches (n = 14), migraine with (n = 2) orwithout (n = 4) aura, craniocerebral trauma (n = 3), depression(n = 3), dysmenorrhoea (n = 2), epilepsy (n = 1) and cognitivechanges (n = 1). • Mean time for the second brain MRI was 6 months(range 3–30). • 23 patients had temporospatial dissemination(eight with gadolinium enhancement). • 11 patients had clinicalconversion: optic neuritis (n = 5), brainstem (n = 3), sensitivesymptoms (n = 2) and cognitive deterioration (n = 1). Eight(72%) already had criteria of dissemination to space and timebefore the clinical event. • Mean time between the first brainMRI and clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) was 2.3 years. • Early treatment should be discussed in view of thepredictive value on conversion of the MRI burden of the disease.

  39. Separating Zebras from Horses The unusual presentation of an common disease is generally more likely than the usual presentation of an uncommon disease When faced with an unusual clinical feature, ask first whether it can be explained by something other than a rare disease Smith J Am Board Fam Pract 13(6):424-429, 2000

  40. Problemswiththe McDonald criteria • 1. PrognosticcriterianotDiagnosticcriteria • 2. Stringency of criteria • ( Recurrentoptic neuritis, recurrentmyelitis, recurrent ADEM ) • MRI • ( Cost and thesensitivitymayvarywithtechnology; 3 Tesla MRI maycreate more false positives ) • 4. Oligoclonalbands • ( Sensitivity and specificity ) • Otherdiseasesmaymeetthecriteriafordissemination in time and spacerequiredfor diagnosis of MS • Impactontreatmentdecisions( Early treatment should be discussed in view of thepredictive value on conversion of the MRI burden of the disease)

  41. MultipleSclerosis • MS is a life-long disease • Multiple Sclerosis is a clinical diagnosis • There is no pathognomonic or perfect laboratory test to diagnose MS • MRI is sensitive but has limited specificity Suspected MS isnotthesame as established MS once diagnosedcan´teasilyretract

  49. Multiple Sclerosis in the Faroe Islands • The Faroe are a group of 18 Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, in a semi-independent status, part of the Kindgdon of Denmark • British troops invaded the Faroe Islands in World War II (1940-1945) • The population was 26.232 inhabitant (1943) • Multiple Sclerosis did not exist among resident Faroese before 1943( Except 2 Faroese who lived in Denmark and return to Faroe Islands before the War )
