Epstein-Barr virus antibodies in multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 1991 October 16
Although it has been reported that patients with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis have serologic evidence of a chronic or persistent Epstein-Barr virus infection, our patients did not seem to have other stigmata of Epstein-Barr virus infection. To reappraise the serologic evidence of chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection, the Epstein-Barr antibody levels in 11 patients with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis and 11 sex- and age-matched control patients were measured. Neither the antiviral capsid antigen IgG (P = .15) nor the antinuclear antigen (P = .2) antibody titers of the patients with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis were significantly different than those of the control patients. Neither the patients with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis nor the control patients had increased antiviral capsid antigen IgM titers. One patient with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis and three control patients had positive anti-early antigen antibody titers (P = .59). The results of this study do not support the hypothesis that patients with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis have serologic evidence of chronic or persistent Epstein-Barr virus infection as a characteristic finding.
