This review found some evidence linking human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, no studies definitively proved a causative relationship between HHV-6 and MS.

Area of Science:

  • Neurovirology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system.
  • Human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) is a common virus with a known association with various neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review existing scientific literature for evidence connecting HHV-6 and MS.
  • To evaluate the quality and findings of studies investigating the HHV-6 and MS relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE and Cochrane databases.
  • Categorization of retrieved studies by experimental techniques employed.
  • Quality assessment of studies using predefined criteria.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-eight studies were identified and analyzed.
  • Twelve distinct experimental techniques were utilized across the studies.
  • Four techniques indicated a potential association between HHV-6 and MS, but causality was not established.

    • Conclusions:

    • The current body of evidence suggests a possible link between HHV-6 and MS.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the nature of this relationship, addressing limitations in existing studies.
