Encephalitis can occur by reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus. Brain trauma can also activate latent encephalitis. However encephalitis cannot cause MS or vice versa.
MS is an autoimmune disease where antibodies are produced against the Central nervous system which leads to progressive demyelination of neurons.
