“…As reported in 2020 by Moghadasi, genetics and the environment are the main risk factors to cause NMOSD similar to MS and other demyelination disorders (Moghadasi, 2020). Parainfectious pathogenesis as an environmental risk factor could play a key role in triggering NMOSD, especially varicella-zoster virus (VZV) (Machado et al, 2015), mycobacterium pneumonia (Sellner et al, 2010), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (Bo et al, 2018), herpes simplex virus (HSV) (Nakamura et al, 2017), helicobacter (Eguchi et al, 2020), chlamydia pneumonia (Eguchi et al, 2020), zika (Brainer-Lima et al, 2021), cytomegalovirus (CMV) (Park et al, 2013), and tuberculosis (Saied et al, 2021).…”
