Article Synopsis
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system influenced by genetic and environmental factors, particularly Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, which may play a direct role in its development.
  • This study assessed whether EBV antibody levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) could assist in diagnosing MS by comparing levels in relapsing-remitting MS patients, optic neuritis patients, and healthy controls.
  • The results showed higher EBV antibody levels in MS patients, suggesting these antibody indices could enhance current diagnostic methods for the disease.

This has delayed anticoagulation for procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. The mechanism, andexanet and UFH dose dependence, and thrombotic risk of andexanet-associated heparin resistance are unknown.
