Objective:Â To investigate the frequency of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMSs) living in a high socioeconomic vulnerability area in Chile.

Methods:Â In this prospective cohort study, we compared the frequency of COVID-19 in 52 Chilean pwMSs on disease-modifying treatments (DMTs), living in urban municipalities with low-income/high-poverty levels, with that previously reported in pwMSs living in municipalities with high-income/low-poverty rates in Santiago, Chile.

Of these, 61.5% pwMSs (32/52) underwent quarantine during the study period. COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in five patients...
