- Abstract
This document provides information on the potential connection between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and multiple sclerosis (MS). It explains that while the exact cause of MS is unknown, a combination of genetic factors and environmental triggers, including EBV infection, may play a role. The document discusses epidemiological evidence linking EBV to MS, as well as potential mechanisms by which EBV could contribute to the development of the disease. However, it emphasizes the need for further research and cautions against drawing definitive conclusions based on current studies. The document also includes a list of references that library patrons can use for further research on the topic.
