Relapsing–remitting explained

Relapsing–remitting is a medical term referring to a presentation of disease symptoms that become worse over time (relapsing), followed by periods of less severe symptoms that do not completely cease (partial remitting). The term is used to describe a type of multiple sclerosis called relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis, where unpredictable relapses are followed by remission for months to years.[1]

The term is also used to describe palindromic rheumatism in the context of rheumatoid arthritis,[2] catatonia,[3] [4] lupus,[5] mental disorders,[6] and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.[7]
