Journal ArticleDOI
Distinction between MOG antibody-positive and AQP4 antibody-positive NMO spectrum disorders
Douglas Kazutoshi Sato,Dagoberto Callegaro,Marco Aurélio Lana-Peixoto,Patrick Waters,Frederico Jorge,Toshiyuki Takahashi,Ichiro Nakashima,Samira Luisa Apostolos-Pereira,Natalia Talim,Renata Simm,Angelina Maria Martins Lino,Tatsuro Misu,Maria Isabel Leite,Masashi Aoki,Kazuo Fujihara +14 more
TL;DR: Patients with NMOSD with MOG antibodies have distinct clinical features, fewer attacks, and better recovery than patients with AQP4 antibodies or patients seronegative for both antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
MOG-IgG-Associated Optic Neuritis, Encephalitis, and Myelitis: Lessons Learned From Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder.
Giordani Rodrigues dos Passos,Luana Michelli de Oliveira,Bruna Klein da Costa,Samira Luisa Apostolos-Pereira,Dagoberto Callegaro,Kazuo Fujihara,Douglas Kazutoshi Sato,Douglas Kazutoshi Sato +7 more
TL;DR: The term MOG-IgG-associated Optic Neuritis, Encephalitis, and Myelitis (MONEM) is proposed, emerging as a potential biomarker of inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of retinal neural loss in patients with neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis with or without optic neuritis using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography.
Mário Luiz Ribeiro Monteiro,Danilo B. Fernandes,Samira Luisa Apostolos-Pereira,Dagoberto Callegaro +3 more
TL;DR: Although FD-OCT RNFL and macular thickness measurements can reveal subclinical or optic neuritis-related abnormalities in NMO-spectrum and MS patients, abnormalities are predominant in the macula of MS patients and in RFNL measurements in N MO patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of visual acuity and automated perimetry findings in patients with neuromyelitis optica or multiple sclerosis after single or multiple attacks of optic neuritis.
Danilo B. Fernandes,Renata Pereira Ramos,Carolina F. Falcochio,Samira Luisa Apostolos-Pereira,Dagoberto Callegaro,Mário Luiz Ribeiro Monteiro +5 more
TL;DR: Visual outcome was significantly worse in NMO than in MS, and suspicion of NMO should be raised in the presence of severe residual VF deficit with automated perimetry and lowered in the case of complete VF recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebrospinal fluid aquaporin‐4 antibody levels in neuromyelitis optica attacks
Douglas Kazutoshi Sato,Dagoberto Callegaro,Frederico Jorge,Ichiro Nakashima,Shuhei Nishiyama,Toshiyuki Takahashi,Renata Simm,Samira Luisa Apostolos-Pereira,Tatsuro Misu,Lawrence Steinman,Masashi Aoki,Kazuo Fujihara +11 more
TL;DR: The CSF aquaporin‐4 antibody levels during attacks (but not in sera) closely correlated with pleocytosis, inflammatory cytokines including interleukin‐6 that can regulate antibody‐producing plasmablasts, and glial fibrillary acidic protein levels in the CSF.
