Scientists have developed a blood test that can present the risk of several sclerosis before the first symptoms occur.
Science is known that multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with the Epstein -Barr virus (EBV).The research group of the University of Medun University (Medun Vienna) has now developed a blood test that predicts the risk of multiple sclerosis before the first symptoms appear.
The results of the study published in the journal Nature Communications can revolutionize in early detection and treatment of sclerosis of many chronic diseases.
The new test recognizes special antipers (EBV) against the AARF virus protein (EBV), which was discovered in the initial phase of MS disease - average 5.4 years before clinical diagnosis.
What are new test measures and why is it important
The test is based on the measurement of so-called autoantibodies that occur within three years after EBV infection and are directed to a specific section of EBV EBV-1 protein (antigen 1 Epstein-Barr 1).If these antibodies can be repeatedly demonstrated in the blood, it indicates an increased risk of MS disease.
He briefly explains: What is multiple sclerosis?
- Many sleep is allergic allergic disease, central nervous inflammation, such as the immune system, the immune system is incorrect.
- Symptoms include brain infections and nerve mistakes.As a result, defects, cars / disabilities, vision or emotional vision such as obstacles, emotional feelings.Pretention, depression of depression and depression, pain, dizziness and sexual work.
- Initially, Miss ran down to sleep and was a progressive time.
- Complaints, courses, Courses healing as success therapy are individually as well as those affected, which is the reason why MS also called "disease with 1,000 people".
About 2.8 million people around the world are affected by the world.As a result, it can be used for diagnosis because there is no general change in the late MRI or general changes in nerve damage.
- MS is not contagious, not necessarily fatal, and there is no muscle loss or mental illness.
"Our study shows that in people who develops at least two measurement times in people who develops MS with high probability in the years later," said Henes Vietzen, author of the study.
High precision by repeated measurements
Researchers have investigated blood samples of more than 700,000 patients and more than 5.300 healthy supervisors.
For people with high high antibody mirrors, the diagnosis of MS after EBV infection is introduced earlier than others affected.
Relationships between Epstein-Bar virus and multiple sclerosis
It is considered an important factor in the EPSTENIN-Bar virus development development: Almost everyone has a virus in the life process, and often can be seen in life's life.
In some people, this can be an invitation to the inside of your own plan in the brain.
In the early identity of the initial disease may have a positive effect
Early diagnosis of a new blood test can significantly improve the disease.
Editorial Group Recommendations
Tomas Berer and Hospital Hospital Hospital Hospital Hospital Hospital Hospital Hospital Hospital Single for the University of Nians and weekly see the surrender. "Participates in its bodies.
However, the test can be introduced in clinical practice, however, more studies are needed.Researchers are already planning prospective studies with a larger number of patients to confirm the results and further optimize the test.(Edited by SAV)
