Does Epstein-Barr virus Cause Multiple Sclerosis?

Mohammad Amir Nasrollahpour, Azam Azimi

MS is a chronic autoimmune disease of the CNS. Until now there is no specific cause for MS, but EBV is the top candidate and this paper tested the theory that MS is caused by EBV. A 20 year old study of over 10 million soldiers shows the risk of MS increased 32 fold after infection with EBV but wasn’t increased with other infections. These findings can’t be explained by any known risk factor for MS and suggest EBV as the leading cause of MS.
