Herpesviruses in Multiple Sclerosis

The association of the human herpesvirus-6 and MS

“…17 In addition, herpesviruses can cause a demyelinating pathology, and both herpes reactivations and MS exacerbations can be brought on by infections with other viruses. 18 HHV-6 has a broad clinical spectrum; it has been demonstrated to be the etiologic agent for the common childhood illness exantham subitum. 7 Neurologically, it has been associated with meningitis 19,20 myalgic encephalomyelitis, 21 and febrile seizures.…”

An attempt to investigate the presence of Epstein Barr virus in multiple sclerosis and normal control brain tissue

“…j Key words multiple sclerosis AE EBV AE mRNA (F)ISH linating pathology, and infection by other viruses is capable of triggering reactivation of latent herpes viruses [20]. Earlier investigations by others and ourselves have provided evidence to implicate a possible role of HHV-6 in MS pathogenesis [3,5,7,13,14,17,18,24].…”

Progress in determining the causes and treatment of multiple sclerosis

“…This neurotropic virus can establish a latent CNS infection in man 10 . HHV-6 protein and DNA have been identified from neuroglial cells in 'active' MS lesions [11][12][13][14] .…”
