Epstein-Barr virus increases risk of Multiple Sclerosis by 32X
Epstein-Barr virus a likely leading cause of multiple sclerosis MDEdge
"EBV is common and infects about 95% of adults. Most individuals are already infected with the virus by age 18 or 20 years, making it difficult to study uninfected populations, said Dr. Ascherio."
"The investigators used stored blood samples (of US military) to determine the relation between EBV infection and MS over a 20-year period from 1993 to 2013."
" Only one of the 801 MS case patients had no serologic evidence of EBV "
"The hazard ratio for MS between EBV seroconversion versus persistent EBV seronegative was 32.4 (95% CI, 4.3-245.3; P < .001)."
"It’s not clear why only some people infected with EBV go on to develop MS, he said."
