摘要
Epidemiological studies of multiple sclerosis (MS) conducted in Latin America have revealed prevalence rates of this disease from low to medium. The aim of this study was to gather and analyze surveys on prevalence conducted in Brazil, noting its variability in different regions. Systematic review was held in electronic databases and manual search in abstracts concerning ECTRIMS, LACTRIMS and Brazilian Congress of Neurology. Nineteen studies made reference to prevalence rates that ranged from 1.36/ 100,000 to 27.2/100.000 inhabitants. More studies on the epidemiology of MS in Brazil will be needed for a better assessment of its prevalence and profile. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
