Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus antibody levels were not higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to matched controls. Delayed hypersensitivity, measured by skin test reactivity, was depressed in rheumatoid arthritis. There was no correlation between virus antibody titres and delayed hypersensitivity.
与配对对照组相比,类风湿性关节炎患者的爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒和巨细胞病毒抗体水平并不更高。通过皮肤试验反应性测量的迟发型超敏反应在类风湿性关节炎患者中有所降低。病毒抗体滴度与迟发型超敏反应之间没有相关性。
