English translation: same!

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Multivitamin Test
English term or phrase: mL vs. ml
Just a general question, for which no particular context is needed:

Is there a difference between mL and ml, or do that both stand for millilitres?

Hopefully this one won't take long. TIA for your help.
