Our results show that ocrelizumab reduces the frequency of attacks and prevent the disease progression in RRMS patients, and reducing the disease progression by primarily stabilizing EDSS scores in SPMS with attacks and PPMS. It is thought that the relatively high rates of urinary tract infection detected in this study may be related with advanced stage of the disease. The absence of hepatitis B reactivation, chronic infection or malignancy in the 4-year follow-up of our cases supports the long-term safety of ocrelizumab treatment. Ocrelizumab may be preferred as an effective and reliable treatment of different types of MS due to non-serious side effects.
