Evidence linking HHV-6 with multiple sclerosis: an update
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Current Opinion in Virology,
Volume 9 Author(s): Emily C Leibovitch , Steven Jacobson Following
reports of elevated antiviral antibodies in MS patient sera and viral
DNA detection in MS plaques nearly two decades ago, the neurovirology
community has actively explored how herpesviruses such as HHV-6 might be
involved in MS disease pathogenesis. Though findings across the field
are non-uniform, an emerging consensus of viral correlates with disease
course and evidence of HHV-6-specific immune responses in the CNS
provide compelling evidence for a role, direct or indirect, of this
virus in MS. Ultimately, the only way to demonstrate the involvement, or
