Evidence of asymptomatic EB virus infection was sought in healthy medical students and nurses following the observation that 1.4% possessed heterophile antibodies. The proportion of subjects with EB virus antibodies rose with age and there was evidence of recent infection in 19%. Smooth muscle antibodies were detected in 13 individuals and recent infection with EB virus was probable in six of these. Subclinical EB virus infections, in some cases associated with some disturbance of immunological function, may therefore be not uncommon in young adults.
在观察到1.4%的健康医学生和护士拥有嗜异性抗体后,对他们进行了无症状EB病毒感染的检查。EB病毒抗体阳性的受试者比例随年龄增长而上升,有证据表明19%的人近期受到感染。在13名个体中检测到平滑肌抗体,其中6人可能近期感染了EB病毒。因此,亚临床EB病毒感染在年轻人中可能并不罕见,在某些情况下与免疫功能的一些紊乱有关。
