Epstein-Barr virus as a driver of multiple sclerosis

Ludvig M Sollid. Sci Immunol. 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Accumulating evidence implicates Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) as an etiological factor in multiple sclerosis (MS). If EBV is a "driver" that causes antiviral immunity with associated autoimmune components rather than a "trigger" that unleashes self-perpetuating autoimmunity, then elimination of EBV would be a rational therapy for MS.
