Human herpesvirus 6 DNA was detected by PCR in the tear fluid of 7 (35%) of 20 patients with Bell's palsy and of 1 (5%) of 20 healthy controls. Varicella-zoster virus was detected by PCR in the tear fluid of 2 of 20 Bell's palsy patients but in none of the tear fluids from 20 healthy controls. These findings suggest an association between human herpesviruses and Bell's palsy.
通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)在20例贝尔麻痹患者的7例(35%)泪液中检测到人类疱疹病毒6型DNA,在20例健康对照者的1例(5%)泪液中也检测到该病毒。通过PCR在20例贝尔麻痹患者的2例泪液中检测到水痘-带状疱疹病毒,但在20例健康对照者的泪液中均未检测到。这些发现提示人类疱疹病毒与贝尔麻痹之间存在关联。
