Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It has been suggested that viral and bacterial infections contribute to the pathogenesis of MS. This review will give an overview about the influence of viral and bacterial infections on MS and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). It will focus on bacterial infections and will also emphasise therapeutic consequences such as the impact of antibiotic treatment on the course of EAE. In summary, a growing body of evidence suggests that systemic infections are a risk factor for the initiation of autoimmune processes including the induction of acute events in MS. Experimental and clinical data strongly suggest early treatment of bacterial infections in MS patients to avoid aggravation and relapse.
