ICYMI: Q+A: Sask. doc breaks down MS discovery
Levin spoke with Postmedia about what the discovery means and the future impact it could have for local MS patients.A: I’ve been seeing MS patients for 25 or 30 years. One of the first patients I saw was in her early 40s when she got mono, which is uncommon. Most people get it in their teens. Epstein Barr virus causes mononucleosis. Three months later, she went to the emergency room with newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis.
Why don’t we say causation? MS is complex. There must be something else. Part of that is genetic predisposition. Another risk factor for MS is low amount of sunlight and low amount of vitamin D. It’s a very small risk compared to EBV, but that may be related to why there’s a higher rate in Saskatchewan.
