The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health in conversation with
Ann Yeh on paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis
Paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis before the age of 18 years, although uncommon, is associated with a higher disease burden than adult onset MS, early and progressive motor and cognitive disability, and high levels of depression and fatigue. In this episode Ann Yeh, Professor of Paediatrics and neurologist in Toronto, Canada, highlights the global considerations in preventing MS disease progression in young people with MS, including achieving global equity in access to diagnostics, specialist services, and highly-effective disease modifying therapies for adolescents and young adults with MS.
