Abstract
To assess the prevalence and the profile of adverse events (AE) of natalizumab in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).Data collection from neurologists attending to patients with MS at specialized units in Brazil.Data from 103 patients attending the infusion centers of 16 MS units in 9 Brazilian states were included in the study. The total number of infusions was 1,042. Seventy-nine patients (76.7%) did not present any AE. Twenty-four patients (23.3%) presented only mild AE. There were three major AE, including two deaths. These three occurrences, although not necessarily being drug-related, must be taken into consideration.The profile of AEs for natalizumab shows that 97% of patients have none or only mild AE. However, still due to safety worries, the use of this medication should be restricted to MS units under the care of specialized neurologists.

O número total de infusões foi 1.042. Setenta e nove pacientes (76,7%) não apresentaram nenhum EA. Vinte e quatro pacientes (23,3%) apresentaram apenas EA leves. Foram relatados três importantes EA, incluindo duas mortes. Embora não necessariamente ligadas à droga, estas EA devem ser levadas em consideração.O perfil de EA para natalizumabe mostrou que em 97% dos pacientes não houve EA ou houve apenas EA leves. No entanto, dadas as preocupações com segurança da droga, o uso deste medicamento deve continuar restrito às unidades de EM sob os cuidados de neurologistas especializados.
