Historically,<unk>  MS was a fatal disease, with death occurring within a year of onset, often secondary to extensive brain stem demyelination. Treatment recommendations, based on anecdotes, include plasma exchange in conjunction with high-dose glucocorticoids(e.g., 1 to 2 g/day of methylprednisolone for 10 days followed by a slow taper). For patients who survive the<unk>  attack, follow-up treatments include immunosuppression (monthly mitoxantrone or cyclophosphamide) either alone or in combination with IFN beta or GA.
