Abstract

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) has a worldwide distribution. The virus is associated with acute infectious mononudeosis, nasopharyngeai carcinoma and Burkitt's lymphoma. So the diagnosis of a EBV infection is crucial. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of EBV infection. The prevalence of EBV antibodies was invastigated in 70 patients. Seropositivity was found to be 91.4%. Epstein-Barr Virus VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM, EBV EBNA IgG, EBV EBNA IgM, EBV EA IgG were found as 82.9%, 10%, 78.6%,15.7% and 24.2%, respectively. It is concluded that there is a high prevalence of EBV infection and the diagnosis of antibodies against major EBV antigens is essential for the distinction of a primary infection from seronegativity and past infection.

Özet

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infeksiyonları, dünyada yaygın olarak görülmektedir ve akut infeksiyöz mononükleoz, nazofaringiyal karsinom ve Burkitt lenfomayla ilişkili olduğu için EBV infeksiyonunun tanısı önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, EBV infeksiyonu prevalansını saptamak idi. Yetmiş hastaya ilişkin serum örneğinde EBV antikorları ELISA ile araştırıldı. Seropozitiflik %91.4 olarak bulundu. Epstein-Barr Virus VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM, EBV EBNA IgG, EBV EBNA IgM, EBV EA IgG, sırasıyla, %82.9, %10, %78.6, %15.7, %24.2 olarak saptandı. Sonuç olarak, EBV infeksiyonun sık olduğu ve major EBV antijenlerine karşı oluşan antikorların sap­tanmasının primer infeksiyonu seronegatiflik ve geçirilmiş infeksiyondan ayırmada önemli olduğu belirlendi.
