Abstract
In search for a virus as a possible cause of multiple sclerosis thirteen brains from patients with multiple sclerosis and four brains from persons with other conditions were tested by various tissue culture methods during a period of 4 years. Isolation of a herpeslike virus from a brain of a patient with a 27-year history of multiple sclerosis is described and neutralizing antibodies against the virus in sera from groups of patients with MS and groups of healthy adults are compared. A statistically significant difference was observed in the number of positive sera from Icelandic MS patients as compared with two groups of healthy Icelandic adults.
