The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in human pathology. II. Serologic profiles of EBV infections. 1978

J Didier, and M Dalens, and G Chabanon, and J Icart, and L Enjalbert

Antibodies to EBV induced intracellular antigens, (VCA, EA, NA) and VCA-IgM antibodies have been investigated to define EBV serologic profile of 245 individuals. This profile was a first studied in EBV primary infections. In infectious mononucleosis, the efficiency of EBV serodiagnosis is lower than Paul Bunnel Davidsohn reaction (PBD) : primary infection profile is only characterised in 80% of the positive PBD infectious mononucleosis (IM). On the other hand, EBV antibodies are preponderant for diagnosis in other clinical manifestations of EBV primary-infection were PBD is not alwasy positive (47%). EBV antibodies of patients with various diseases and antibodies of normal subjects show different profiles. By interpretation of these profiles one discuss the possibility to characterize reinfection, and either latent or active persistant infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007244 Infectious Mononucleosis A common, acute infection usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN). There is an increase in mononuclear white blood cells and other atypical lymphocytes, generalized lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and occasionally hepatomegaly with hepatitis. Glandular Fever,Mononucleosis, Infectious,Fever, Glandular
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D004854 Herpesvirus 4, Human The type species of LYMPHOCRYPTOVIRUS, subfamily GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting B-cells in humans. It is thought to be the causative agent of INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS and is strongly associated with oral hairy leukoplakia (LEUKOPLAKIA, HAIRY;), BURKITT LYMPHOMA; and other malignancies.
