Several viruses have been considered in the etiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but definitive proof have not been given so far. Recently, Gallo and Koprowski (1985) pointed out the retroviruses. In our study serum anti-HTLV I and anti-HTLV III antibodies were determined in 31 MS patients. Anti-HTLV I antibodies were found in the serum of only three MS patients (9.6%); none of the patients had anti-HTLV III antibodies.
多种病毒已被纳入多发性硬化症(MS)的病因学研究范畴,但迄今为止尚未有确凿证据。最近,加洛和科普罗夫斯基(1985年)指出了逆转录病毒。在我们的研究中,对31例MS患者的血清抗人嗜T淋巴细胞病毒I型(HTLV I)和抗人嗜T淋巴细胞病毒III型(HTLV III)抗体进行了检测。仅在3例MS患者(9.6%)的血清中发现了抗HTLV I抗体;所有患者均未检测到抗HTLV III抗体。
