Scientists in Queensland have found a new and pivotal connection between the virus that causes glandular fever, Epstein-Barr Virus, or EBV, and the development of multiple sclerosis. The new research does not mean that those who've had glandular fever are more susceptible to MS, but that some people have a defect in their immune response to EBV, which may be a factor in contracting MS.
