Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an autoimmune condition where [the] immune system attacks proteins in the protective cover around [the] nerves (myelin).

Viral infections trigger multiple sclerosis relapses: a prospective seroepidemiological study. A neurological surveillance was combined with prospective recording of upper respiratory and gastrointestinal infections and serological diagnosis of five common viral infections in 60 benign multiple sclerosis patients with a mean follow-up of 31 months... There was a significant correlation between adenovirus CF titre rises associated with upper respiratory tract infections and the occurrence of a major MS relapse in the AR period (n=7), while influenza infections were not followed by a major S relapse (n=6). Linear homologies have been demonstrated between adenovirus and basic myelin protein. The epidemiological approach is essential to our understanding of systemic antigens triggering multiple sclerosis activity. 3, record 3, English, - basic%20myelin%20protein
