Multiple sclerosis is one of the neurodegenerative diseases that affect the human brain, the subject of countless researches by experts from all over the world who continue to study this disease in order to identify all the possible causes, these being many.
A recent study, conducted by a team of international researchers, showed one certain connection between multiple sclerosis and the "kissing disease" or mononucleosis, the cause of which is the virus of Epstein Barr. The virus in question belongs to the herpesvirus family and is much more common than one might think.
The researchers looked at a group of over 10 million US military personnel, including 955 with multiple sclerosis, and found that those who contracted the Epstein Barr virus were more than 32 times more likely to have developed sclerosis. multiple, which had not happened with any other virus.
According to experts, it is not a question of causality, but of pure evidence. To date it is not possible to cure the Epstein Barr virus, but only its symptoms, just as there are no definitive cures for multiple sclerosis, but investigating and recognizing its causes is the first goal of researchers and if this virus actually were one, advances in its treatment would allow it to prevent and treat multiple sclerosis in the future.
