Therapy with Interferon beta-1b of a Patient with Childhood Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

We describe the case of a girl with paediatric multiple sclerosis (MS). The first attack occurred at the age of 5, the second attack occurred 4 years later. The number of attacks increased during puberty. Therapy with interferon beta-1b was initiated at the age of 13. Side effects are mild and the female patient has been relapse-free since the start of therapy.
