Our aim was to examine the relationship between () and infection and patients with essential tremor (ET). This study comprised a total of 174 participants, consisting of 99 patients with ET and 75 healthy controls. The presence of anti- IgG and anti- IgG antibodies was investigated using ELISA. The relationship between the severity of the disease and the seropositivity of and were examined. The seropositivity rate for anti- IgG antibodies among patients and control groups were 43.4% and 12%, respectively (odds ratio [OR]: 5.63; 95% CI: 2.53-12.56). The patient group exhibited a higher seroprevalence of anti- IgG antibodies (32.3%) compared with the control group (13.3%; OR: 3.10; 95% CI: 1.41-6.83; = 0.004). This study suggests that and infections can contribute to the pathogenic mechanisms underlying ET and could be risk factors for ET.
我们的目的是研究（）与感染以及特发性震颤（ET）患者之间的关系。本研究共纳入174名参与者，其中包括99例ET患者和75名健康对照者。采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）检测抗IgG和抗IgG抗体的存在情况。研究了疾病严重程度与和的血清阳性率之间的关系。患者组和对照组中抗IgG抗体的血清阳性率分别为43.4%和12%（优势比[OR]：5.63；95%置信区间[CI]：2.53 - 12.56）。与对照组（13.3%；OR：3.10；95% CI：1.41 - 6.83；P = 0.004）相比，患者组抗IgG抗体的血清阳性率更高（32.3%）。本研究表明，和感染可能参与了ET的发病机制，可能是ET的危险因素。
