Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Neuroimmunology

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be difficult to diagnose if you experience unusual symptoms or if you have a disease with similar warning signs. Today, there is no single, definitive laboratory test to confirm MS. An MS diagnosis can only be made by conducting a comprehensive medical history, a detailed neurological examination, MRI imaging and other tests to exclude other potential causes.
