摘要
Three hundred twenty two serum samples were evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunoblotting for the assessment of the immunologic status of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Serological profiles of 322 serum samples were classified by the IgM and IgG antibodies by the immunofluorescence assay as seronegative, acute infection, reactivation and past infection. Higher rates of seropositivity were determined in serum samples belonging to old age groups. Routine tests used for EBV diagnosis were efficient. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
