Multiple sclerosis-associated retrovirus (MSRV) in Sardinian MS patients

A Dolei et al. Neurology. 2002.

Abstract

Blood and CSF of Sardinian patients with MS and neurologic control subjects were tested for MS-associated retrovirus (MSRV). CSF detection in MS was 50% at clinical onset, increasing with temporal disease progression, and 40% in control subjects. In blood, MSRV was detected in all MS patients, in most patients with inflammatory neurologic diseases, and rarely in healthy blood donors. MSRV may represent a marker of neurologic diseases of inflammatory origin.
