Abstract

Infection in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is of major concern, particularly for those receiving disease-modifying therapies. This article explores the risk of infection in people with MS and provides guidance - developed by Delphi consensus by specialists involved in their management - on how to screen for, prevent and manage infection in this population.
