There is a link between Herpes Zoster and Multiple Sclerosis

The discovery comes from Taiwan and covers the Herpes Zoster, a disease annoying and sometimes painful, derived from chicken pox.
The chickenpox virus, in fact, some people will not be permanently defeated but remains “dormant” in the body for several years, only to reappear in a more serious with this disorder, commonly known as “shingles“.

Often, when the varicella virus remains in the body of the people, lurking in some nerve fibers of the body and, given that multiple sclerosis is a disease that arises from the disintegration of the nerve fiber (and the consequent lack of communication between it and the brain), the relationship between the two events seems very possible.

In this study, symptoms of sclerosis in patients suffering from herpes zoster appeared three or four years after the disease and most of them were aged under 45 years. Herpes usually affects people with seriously compromised immune system from diseases earlier, highly stressful factors or taking certain medications. The new studies under way on remedies sclerosis may also involve this trouble and then start to fight for a common solution to the problem.
