Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), and whether herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is associated with the development of MS remains controversial. We aimed to investigate potential associations between MS or clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and the prevalence of IgG and DNA for HSV in the clinical samples. METHODS:A systematic search of English databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library) was performed. The prevalence of IgG against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and DNA for HSV-1 or HSV-2 in clinical samples were pooled and compared between patients with MS/CIS and controls using Stata 12.0. RESULTS:A total of 1756 patients with MS/CIS and 6429 controls from eight studies were included. The pooled results showed a significantly statistical difference in the seroprevalence of IgG against HSV-2 (OR 1.764, 95% CI [1.410 to 2.206], P = 0.000) between patients with MS/CIS and controls. However, no significantly statistical difference was shown in the seroprevalence of IgG against HSV-1 (OR 1.166, 95% CI [0.737 to 1.845], P = 0.512) between patients with MS/CIS and controls. Similarly, there was no significantly statistical difference in the prevalence of HSV-1 DNA (OR 0.957, 95% CI [0.310 to 2.949], P = 0.938) and HSV-2 DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (OR 0.506, 95% CI [0.022 to 11.416], P = 0.668) between patients with MS/CIS and controls. Subgroup analysis suggested that mean age at sampling might be a source of heterogeneity, and the seroprevalence of IgG against HSV-1 was significantly increased in the pediatric patients with MS/CIS (OR 1.488, 95% CI [1.130 to 1.959], P = 0.005), compared with the controls. CONCLUSIONS:The study demonstrated that prior HSV-1 infection might relate to the onset of pediatric MS/CIS and might not play a role in the development of adult MS. Furthermore, prior HSV-2 infection might have a correlation with MS/CIS. The mechanism remains to be further studied.
