Dear Editor, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic infammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) representing a relevant cause of disability in young adults. In the last 20 years, new and emerging disease-modifying drugs (DMD) have been introduced in clinical practice revolutionizing the natural history of the disease [1]. However, immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive treatments for MS are associated with an increased risk of severe infections, which ranges from 0.2% to 2.6% [2]
