Epstein-Barr and Multiple Sclerosis: New Research
Researchers have released new findings that support a connect between multiple sclerosis and the Epstein-Barr virus. What is interesting (and what researcher Alberto Ascherio at Harvard discovered) is that, in a sample of 305 members of the armed services who were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, 100% of them were infected with the Epstein-Barr virus before diagnosis (compared to 30% of over 600 other service members whose blood was examined and were similar to the 305 in age and other factors (though they had not been diagnosed with MS).
