What is the intensity of COVID 19 in multiple sclerosis patients ?

If a patient has Multiple sclerosis, how they respond to the COVID-19 infection depends on age, presence of other health conditions, and the medications being taken for MS.

Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMT)prescribed for MS, change how your immune system works.  However some of these medications can make it harder for your body to fight infections.

Don’t stop taking your medicine but do talk to your doctor about your treatment. They’ll work with you to find the best choice. It may be more important to slow down your MS than to lower your chances of getting an infection.
