RESUMEN
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) fue descrita inicialmente en un documento escandinavo y dos siglos más tarde en el diario de una santa holandesa. Mucho después, comenzando el siglo XVIII, se reportó un caso aislado y no es sino hasta el siglo XIX cuando la enfermedad se presenta con mayor frecuencia. En la primera mitad de este siglo se referenció un paciente en la literatura médica y se divulgaron dos atlas de patología. A partir de entonces, a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, se desarrolló la concepción moderna de la EM, partiendo de los relatos de Frerichs, en Alemania, y más tarde de Charcot, a la cabeza de la Pitié-Salpêtrière. Pero es durante el siglo pasado que la EM alcanzó su madurez con el surgimiento de los criterios diagnósticos, el concepto de la remielinización, la neuroimagen y el tratamiento farmacológico. En el siglo XXI, a partir del avance tecnológico ydel mejor conocimiento de la enfermedad, se proponen nuevos criterios diagnósticos y se utilizan alternativas terapéuticas orales y anticuerpos monoclonales. En este siglo representan un gran desafío los adelantos en genética, biomarcadores y medicamentos de mayor eficacia.
ABSTRACT
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was initially described in a Scandinavian document and two centuries later in the diary of a Dutch Saint. Long after, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, an isolated case was reported and it was not until the nineteenth century that cases were most frequently reported. During the first half of this century a patient was referenced, for the first time, in the medical literature and two atlas of pathology reported the disease. Thereafter, during the second half of the nineteenth century, the modern conception of MS is developed, based on the stories of Frerichs, in Germany, and later Charcot's, head of the Pitié-Salpêtrière. However, it was during the past century that MS reached maturity with the emergence of the diagnostic criteria, the concept of remyelination, neuroimage and pharmacological treatment. In the XXI century, based on technological advancement and a better understanding of the disease, new diagnostic criteria are proposed as well as alternative therapies and oral monoclonal antibodies. In this century, advances in genetics represent a great challenge, as well as biomarkers and more medications of a wider effectiveness.
