A type of white blood cell that plays a role in the immune system by helping fight infections and boost inflammationA process of the immune system that involves chemicals released by immune cells (i.e. white blood cells) inducing localized heat, swelling, redness, and pain to an area that occurs when tissue becomes damaged or infected from a pathogen, and usually results in the desctruction and removal of the pathogen and/or healing to the tissue. In the case of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD), inflammation is the result of the incorrect targeting of the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) by the immune system, resulting in damage to myelin sheaths. in the body. in MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease , these levels in your blood may be monitored depending onInflammation of the optic nerve that may be classified as unilateral (affecting one eye) or bilateral (affecting both eyes) that may result in vision changes, vision loss, and/or pain with eye movement. your doctor and the medication you are taking.
