The multiple sclerosis (MS) risk factors smoking and remote Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection have been suggested to interact statistically, but the results are conflicting. In a prospective study on 192 MS cases and 384 matched controls, we analysed levels of cotinine as a marker of smoke exposure, and Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen-1 antibody reactivity. We assessed interaction on the additive and multiplicative scales, and estimated the effects of the risk factors across strata of each other. The results suggest that a negative interaction may be present in samples drawn at a young age, and a positive interaction among older subjects.

During a seroepidemiologic survey of a community, 13 (6.2%) of 209 children were found to be experiencing a current or recent primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. The sera contained elevated antibody titers to viral capsid antigen of EBV, antibodies to early antigen (EA) of EBV, and specific IgM. The frequency of primary infections was highest in the first decade of life. The primary EBV infections were usually asymptomatic. The antibody to EA was directed predominantly to the R component. A heterophil antibody response was not detected.
