文摘

Epstein-Barr virus has been established as one of the causal factors in MS onset, but its role in MS progression less certain. Human herpesvirus 6 shows a closer connection with the disease activity. Interesting recent work on human endogenous retroviruses shows associations with both the development and progression of MS. Antiviral treatments could become promising in the future.
