Trend and seroprevalence of Epstein–Barr virus in Bahrain: 2001–2015

Abstract: Tendance et séroprévalence du virus d'Epstein Barr à Bahreïn (2001-2015)RÉSUMÉ À Bahreïn, il n'existe aucune information épidémiologique adéquate sur le taux d'infection par le virus Epstein Barr (EBV). Or, des données dans ce domaine pourraient permettre de mettre au point des mesures de protection contre les infections par EBV. La présente étude avait ainsi pour objectif d'examiner la tendance de l'infection par EBV à Bahreïn sur une période de 15 ans (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(20… Show more

“…EBV VCA IgG antibodies were found in all the nurses covered by the study as well as in all the participants in the control group. These results are consistent with the results of studies of the EBV seroprevalence in different populations worldwide . Unfortunately, scientific literature does not provide data on the prevalence of EBV VCA IgG antibodies among the professional group of nurses in other countries which would allow to assess and compare the obtained research findings.…”

“…These results are consistent with the results of studies of the EBV seroprevalence in different populations worldwide. 11,12 Unfortunately, scientific literature does not provide data on the prevalence of EBV VCA IgG antibodies among the professional group of nurses in other countries which would allow to assess and compare the obtained research findings. The study did not reveal statistically significant differences between the compared groups of nurses and also the control group in terms of CMV IgG seroprevalence.…”

“…In France, Fourcade et al [19] reported a seropositivity rate of 88% in the study included almost 50 thousand patients. Farid et al [20] found this rate to be 86% in their study conducted with 10 thousand patients in Bahrain. Tuon et al [21] found the EBV seropositivity rate as 98% in stissue donors in Brazil.…”
