An estimated 5% of MS patients already have first clinical symptoms before the age of 16 years (paediatric MS). In the paediatric age group comprehensive analysis of the natural clinical course and the course under treatment in a large MS cohort is still missing. We describe a cohort of paediatric MS patients treated in the German Centre for Multiple Sclerosis in Childhood and Adolescence. A total of 166 patients with definite MS who are registered in our database were analysed. The observation time was up to 14.9 years with a mean follow-up of 4.1 years. Median age was 12.4 years (range 4 to 18 years). Prior to puberty the gender ratio was almost equal, while in adolescence there was a strong female predominance as is seen in adult onset MS. Almost all patients presented with relapsing-remitting MS. The course of the disease was more benign than in adult MS with a very slow EDSS increase and complete remission after most relapses. Most patients received immunomodulative treatment with interferon-beta or glatiramer acetate and, in severe cases, natalizumab. However, adequate treatment guidelines for this age group are still lacking."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00415-008-6022-x"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143202"],["dc.identifier.isi","000263166600021"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19300972"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/690"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Dr Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag"],["dc.relation.issn","0340-5354"],["dc.title","Paediatric multiple sclerosis: The experience of the German Centre for Multiple Sclerosis in Childhood and Adolescence"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This study was performed to analyze the prevalence and the clinical course of NMO in a European pediatric cohort of patients with demyelinating CNS disorders. Methods: A cohort study was performed evaluating 118 pediatric patients presenting at the Center for Multiple Sclerosis in Childhood and Adolescents, Go¨ttingen, Germany, with demyelinating CNS disorders between 2000 and 2009. In all patients, NMO-IgG status was determined. Results: The majority of patients (94%) were diagnosed with remitting recurrent multiple sclerosis. Six patients fulfilled the clinical criteria for NMO but only 1 was seropositive for NMO-IgG. This patient had a severe relapsing course in contrast to the seronegative patients who showed a mild and in the majority of cases monophasic course. Conclusions: The diagnostic criteria clearly distinguished the patients with NMO from patients with other demyelinating CNS disorders. In the European pediatric population, NMO is very rare and in the majority of patients not associated with NMO-IgG. These seronegative cases have a benign and predominantly monophasic course and therefore do not need the immunosuppressant therapy that is recommended for NMO in the recent literature."],["dc.identifier.fs","576516"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6319"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61280"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Neuromyelitis optica and NMO-IgG in European pediatric patients"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, little is known about JC virus infection in pediatric MS to date. Objective: We aimed to analyze the prevalence of anti-JC virus antibodies, the conversion rate and the influence of the anti-JC virus antibody status on the clinical course in a large pediatric MS cohort. Methods: Anti-JC virus antibodies were analyzed in serum samples within six months of disease onset and during the course of the disease. Clinical data were extracted from a pediatric MS databank. Results: A total of 51.6% of 256 patients were found to be positive for anti-JC virus antibodies at onset of disease. No correlation between antibody status and clinical course was seen. Analyzing 693 follow-up serum samples revealed high titer stability, and an annual conversion rate of 4.37% was seen. Conclusion: No evidence was found that seropositivity for anti-JC virus antibodies influences the clinical course. Surprisingly, seroprevalence for anti-JC virus antibodies was more than twice as high as anticipated in this age group, raising the question of whether the infection increases the risk of MS development."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/1352458514543340"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141931"],["dc.identifier.isi","000352165000006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25070674"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/2668"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.eissn","1477-0970"],["dc.relation.issn","1352-4585"],["dc.title","JC virus antibody status in a pediatric multiple sclerosis cohort: Prevalence, conversion rate and influence on disease severity"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Setting: Center for MS in childhood and adolescents, Gottingen, Germany. Patients: Three pediatric patients with RRMS having a poor response to other immunomodulatory therapies or having intolerable adverse effects. Interventions: Natalizumab given every 4 weeks at a dosage of 3 to 5 mg/kg of body weight. Main Outcome Measures: Cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging before treatment and every 6 months thereafter. Results: During 24, 16, and 15 months of treatment, no further relapses occurred in the 3 pediatric patients; all reported significant improvement in their quality of life. Follow-up MR imaging showed no new T2-weighted lesions or gadolinium-enhancing lesions. No adverse events were seen when dosage was adjusted to body weight.

Results: Of 144 patients with first MS manifestation between 2011 and 2015, 41.6% fulfilled the criteria for highly active MS. In total, 55 patients treated with NTZ and 23 with FTY demonstrated a significant reduction in relapse rate (NTZ: 95.2%, FTY: 75%), new T2 lesions (NTZ: 97%, FTY: 81%), and contrast-enhancing lesions (NTZ: 97%, FTY: 93%). However, seven patients switched from NTZ to FTY experienced an increase in disease activity. Comparing pediatric MS patients treated in 2005 with those treated in 2015 showed a 46% reduction in relapse rate and a 44% reduction in mean Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Conclusion: The rate of highly active disease among pediatric MS patients is high; more than 40% in our cohort. Response to NTZ and FTY treatment is similar if not better than observed in adults.
