"proliferation of cytotoxic and activated t cells during acute epstein-barr virus induced infectious mononucleosis "

چکیده
the immune responses that develop following epstien-barr virus (ebv) infection are complex and involve both humoral and to a greater extent cell-mediated immune mechanisms. to evaluate the immune response, flow cytometric analysis of the peripheral blood of six patients during the acute phase of ebv infection was performed. this analysis revealed a significant increase in the percentages and the absolute number of cd8+cytotoxic and activated (hla-dr+ - t lymphocytes and in some cases with a concomitan decrease in the percentages of b (cd19+) lymphocytes and t helper (cd4+) lymphocytes. these patient invariably had inverted cd4/cd8 ratio. all changes reversed to normal level during the recovery phase of infection. it is therefore concluded that ebv specific cytotoxic and activated t lymphocytes are essential in controlling acute ebv infection presented by the infected b cells.

متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus infectious mononucleosis.
Infectious mononucleosis should be suspected in patients 10 to 30 years of age who present with sore throat and significant fatigue, palatal petechiae, posterior cervical or auricular adenopathy, marked adenopathy, or inguinal adenopathy. An atypical lymphocytosis of at least 20 percent or atypical lymphocytosis of at least 10 percent plus lymphocytosis of at least 50 percent strongly supports ...

Received for publication: 8-12-10 Accepted for publication: 8-12-10 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an ubiquitous human herpes virus that has been identified as the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis, a self-limited lymphoproliferative disease and, in general, is self-limiting in the immunocompetent host. The disease has a benign course. EBV has also been identified or associated with epit...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus in cerebrospinal fluid during infectious mononucleosis encephalitis.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was recovered from cerebrospinal cells (but not from cell-free fluid) of a patient with meningoencephalitis complicating infectious mononucleosis. This finding suggests that virus-altered B lymphocytes can invade the central nervous system and may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of neurologic sequelae of EBV infections. Several mechanisms by which these cells can...
