Inline EG

suggestion

"diencephalic syndrome (e.g. narcolepsy, autonomic dysfunction)"

Line 33:30 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"associated other autoimmune conditions (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease)"

Line 41:47 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Commas

suggestion

"Additionally, in patients with longstanding disease, often with a history of numerous clinical attacks, rarely a more extensive, confluent, bilateral, symmetric pattern of T2/FLAIR hyperintensities may be seen, which can involve subcortical and deep white matter, external capsules, anterior temporal lobe, and cerebellum ²⁵."

Line 91:16 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Acute relapses should be treated promptly, as early intervention significantly improves outcomes. Standard therapy is high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (1000 mg/day for 3-5 days), followed by an oral corticosteroid taper³⁵. Plasma exchange should be initiated early, ideally within 2 days of symptom onset, in patients with disabling relapses or inadequate response to corticosteroids; early plasma exchange is associated with full recovery in up to 40% of patients³⁵. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy may be considered when plasma exchange is unavailable or contraindicated³⁵."

Line 131:407 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Biographical Lifespan

suggestion

"History and etymology"

Line 149:1 · A bold element in the History and etymology section should be a person; it would be useful to have their lifespan details: '<h4>History and etymology</h4> <p>The disease was first described in 1870 by <strong>Sir Thomas Clifford Allbutt</strong> '
