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.
