Epstein-Barr Virus and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
The etiology of SLE is not fully established. SLE is a disease with periods of waning disease activity and intermittent flares. This fits well in theory to a latent virus infection, which occasionally switches to lytic cycle, and EBV infection has for long been suspected to be involved. This paper reviews EBV immunobiology and how this is related to SLE pathogenesis by illustrating uncontrolled...
متن کاملSystemic lupus erythematosus secondary to infection with Epstein-Barr virus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic, idiopathic and autoimmune disease. Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a risk factor associated with the development of SLE. Almost all pediatric patients with SLE have serological evidence of EBV infection. Patients with SLE have increased EBV viral load in serum and saliva. These patients have 15-30 times the amount of vira...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus and molecular mimicry in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a complex disease with a multifactoral etiology, with genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Molecular mimicry as a result of viral infection may contribute to the development of lupus. The pattern of autoantibody development in lupus is consistent with initiation through molecular mimicry, as the initial autoantigenic epitopes that have ...
متن کاملThe role of Epstein-Barr virus in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a devastating autoimmune disease with no known cure. Lupus patients suffer from a myriad of clinical symptoms which variably include arthritis, pleuritis, pericarditis, vasculitis, and nephritis. The underlying mechanisms behind these clinical findings and the etiologic events preceding and causing disease onset, however, remain largely unknown. For many ye...
متن کاملAssociation of Human Papilloma Virus and Epstein-Barr Virus with Ovarian Cancer in Shiraz, Southwestern Iran
Background & Objective: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common cancers amongst women. The association of Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with ovarian cancer is inconclusive; therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate the frequency of HPV and EBV in malignant, ...
