Episode 137: COVID-19 & MS Update with Dr. Tanuja Chitnis




RealTalk MS show

Summary: My guest is Dr. Tanuja Chitnis, a board-certified neurologist specializing in MS, with a dual appointment at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Mass General Hospital. We're discussing who, among everyone living with MS, is immunocompromised and who isn't -- and why that matters when it comes to being susceptible to COVID-19. We're talking about whether pandemic-related stress can lead to an MS relapse. And we'll look at the outcomes for patients living with MS who have already contracted COVID-19.
