疾患修飾療法の成功のためには,より正確で早期の診断が必要である。しかし多系統萎縮症(MSA)では,多様な臨床表現型を呈すること,mimicsと呼ばれるMSAに類似した表現型を呈する疾患が多数存在することから,その臨床診断は容易ではない。本論では臨床診断を困難にしているこれらの要因について提示し,最近の臨床試験の状況を踏まえた新たな診断基準作成に向けての動きを紹介したい。
Abstract
More accurate and early diagnoses of neurodegenerative diseases are required to establish disease-modifying therapies. Obtaining a clear diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA), a neurodegenerative disease, can be challenging because MSA has a number of clinical subtypes and many other diseases, known as mimics, are characterized by symptoms that are similar to those of MSA. This paper discusses the factors that make the clinical diagnosis of MSA difficult. Additionally, this paper introduces an attempt at the new clinical diagnostic criteria establishment in accord with recent clinical trials.
