Abstract

Aim: The aim of this clinical prospective study is to evaluate the relationship between Epstein-Barr virüs (EBV) and asymmetric and symmetric tonsillar hypertrophy in children between 3-14 years old. Material and Method: Tonsil size of forty two children were evaluated a orophayrngeal inspection preoperatively.Tonsils were grouped according to Brodsky L scala classification (Grade 1-4).Childrens are separated into two groups including the ones that have grade 1-2 and grade 3-4 tonsil size, +1 difference between two tonsils was accepted as tonsillar asymmetry. Viral capsid antigen IgG (VCA IgG), viral capsid antigen IgM (VCA IgM), early antigen and EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) levels were measured in serum preoperatively. EBV latent membrane protein-1 and EBNA-2 levels were determined with immunohistochemical studies after paraffin sectioning. Chi-square and Fisher s exact tests were used to compare groups. The study was approved by the ethics commite (KA0992). Results: The 20 of the cases were boy and 22 were girl. The mean age was 7.12±2.07. There were no significant difference between groups, among age and gender distribution.Thirty-two children (76.2%) were sero-positive for VCA IgG. Among 62.5% of them, EBNA IgG was also positive. VCA IgG was significanlty higher in children with tonsillar hypertrophy grade 3-4 and EBNA was significantly higher in children with tonsillar hypertrophy grade 1-2. All tonsil spacements are evaluated as chronic tonsillit that shows lymphoid hyperplasia. 35.7% of EBV is found by immunohistochemical staining.This ratio is determined as 28.6% for latent membran protein-1 and 19% for EBNA.The relationship between EBV and degree of tonsillar hypertrophy was found to be statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Asymetric tonsillar hypertrophy were seen among 16.7% of the children.The relationship between EBV and asymetric tonsillar hypertrophy was also found to be statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Conclusions: We found statistical correlation between the grade of tonsillar hypertrophy and viral load in serum. This study points out the reservoir of EBV in tonsil tissue.

Özet

Amaç: Bu klinik ileriye dönük çalışma ile, tonsillektomi gerekçesi bulunan 3-14 yaş arası çocuklarda simetrik ve asimetrik tonsiller hipertrofiEpstein Barr virüsü (EBV) arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya alınan 42 olguda tonsil büyüklüğü ameliyat öncesinde, orofaringeal görüntüsü ile değerlendirildi. Derecelendirme için, Brodsky L skalası (evre 1-4) kullanıldı. Olgular tonsil büyüklüğü evre 1-2 olanlar ve tonsil büyüklüğü evre 3-4 olanlar olarak iki gruba ayrıldı, tonsiller arasında 1+ fark asimetrik hipertrofi kabul edildi. Ameliyat öncesi alınan kan örneklerinde viral kapsid antijen IgG (VCA IgG), viral kapsid antijen IgM (VCA IgM), early antijen ve EBV nükleer antijen (EBNA) düzeyleri ölçüldü. Tonsillektomi maddelerinde EBV için immünohistokimyasal yöntem ile EBV virüsü latent membran protein-1 ve EBNA-2 düzeyleri belirlendi. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin karşılaştırılmasında ki-kare test ve Fishers exact test kullanıldı. Çalışma için etik kurul onayı alındı (KA0992). Bulgular: Olguların 20si erkek, 22si kız olup yaş ortalaması 7,12±2,07 idi. Gruplar arasında yaş ve cinsiyet açısından anlamlı fark yoktu. Otuz iki olguda (%76,2) serum VCA IgG pozitif bulundu. Bunların %62,5inde aynı zamanda EBNA IgG de pozitifti. Evre 3 ve 4 tonsiller hipertrofi olgularında VCA IgG ve EBNA pozitifliği evre 1-2 olgulardan anlamlı olarak yüksek saptandı (p0,05). Olguların %16,7sinde asimetrik tonsiller hipertrofi saptandı. Asimetrik tonsiller hipertrofi ile EBV arasında da anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı (p>0,05). Çıkarımlar: Bulgularımız, tonsiller hipertrofinin derecesi ile EBV enfeksiyonu arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu, tonsillerin EBV için kaynak olduğunu gösterdi. (Türk Ped Arfl 2013; 48: 30-4) ile
