Link between Epstein-Barr virus and multiple sclerosis
| Studying more than 10 million young adults in the US military of whom 955 were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) it was found that the risk of MS increases 32-fold after an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but is not increased after an infection with other viruses. This may mean that EBV is a cause of MS. If so this may lead to a treatment for MS. related: #multiple_sclerosis #Epstein_Barr |
