fatigue (tiredness) some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults. This includes people 65 years and older, people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), pregnant people and children younger than 5 years, but especially those younger than 2 years old. People who have flu often feel some or all of these symptoms: fever or feeling feverish/chills. People at Higher Risk from FluĪnyone can get sick with flu, even healthy people, and serious problems related to flu can happen to anyone at any age, but some people are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications if they get sick. For example, people with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have flu, and people with chronic heart disease may experience a worsening of this condition triggered by flu. Objective To identify the clinical characteristics of demyelinating. It has been thought that LOMS patients will be more likely to exhibit a primary progressive (PPMS) clinical course. Flu also can make chronic medical problems worse. Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease, and onset over the age of 50 years is referred to as late onset MS (LOMS).
Flu virus infection of the respiratory tract can trigger an extreme inflammatory response in the body and can lead to sepsis, the body’s life-threatening response to infection. A recent study investigating the incidence of MS over the last 60 years in Denmark found that the incidence of MS. Other possible serious complications triggered by flu can include inflammation of the heart (myocarditis), brain (encephalitis) or muscle tissues (myositis, rhabdomyolysis), and multi-organ failure (for example, respiratory and kidney failure). Late-onset MS (LOMS), commonly defined as disease onset after the age of 50 years, is considered a rare phenomenon however, the reported prevalence among patients with MS ranges between 4 and 10 in different studies 5, 6, 7. Sinus and ear infections are examples of moderate complications from flu, while pneumonia is a serious flu complication that can result from either flu virus infection alone or from co-infection of flu virus and bacteria. LOMS late-onset patients attained EDSS 6.0 in a significantly shorter period that was influenced by male gender and spinal cord presentation at MS onset, the researchers concluded, adding.
Clinical characteristics, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern of abnormalities, evoked potential studies and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal band analysis are of high diagnostic yield in LOMS patients, but expertise in interpreting their results is strongly required.Most people who get flu will recover in a few days to less than two weeks, but some people will develop complications (such as pneumonia) as a result of flu, some of which can be life-threatening and result in death. The differential diagnosis may be sometimes difficult and includes cerebro-spinal vascular syndromes, hypertension-related disorders, compressive myelopathies, primary or secondary vasculitis, metabolic diseases, degenerative and nutritional syndromes. Moreover in patients over 50, MS variants and atypical forms which present a difficult diagnostic problem, may be frequently encountered. This is due to nerve damage to the pathways which are responsible for movement of those areas. Tremors While less common, those with MS can experience tremors in parts of their body. For a smaller percent, they may experience a feeling that they are spinning or that the room is spinning. LOMS is usually associated with a faster progression to disability compared to young adult multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. It is common to feel off balance or even lightheaded. The course of the disease is often primary progressive and pyramidal or cerebellar involvement is observed in 60%-70% of the patients at presentation. The active symp : loms had vanished, and vision increased rapidly. Shooting pains, numbness, or tingling in the hands or feet. Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. and thus impercep- lent convulsive symptoms seem to have rather ditibly. Heart palpitations or an irregular heart beat ( Lyme carditis) Episodes of dizziness or shortness of breath. They loms as part of the convulsions ' of children, also furnish the valuable. Late onset multiple sclerosis (LOMS), defined as the first presentation of clinical symptoms in patients over 50, is not a rare phenomenon as previously thought, since the prevalence ranges between 4% and 9.6% in different studies. Along with the symptoms mentioned on the previous slides, MS can also cause: hearing loss seizures uncontrollable shaking or tremor breathing problems loss of taste Secondary symptoms of MS. The slight symptoms gradually faded, bui litile change occurred in the state of. Intermittent pain in tendons, muscles, joints, and bones.
