The authors studied the tolerability of subcutaneous interferon beta-1a (IFN?-1a) in 51 patients with early-onset multiple sclerosis. The most frequent systemic adverse effects were flu-like symptoms in 65%. Laboratory abnormalities included asymptomatic leukopenia (27%) and elevated hepatic transaminases (35%). Treatment with IFN?-1a was safe and well tolerated in the majority of children and adolescents. |
