We describe three patients with chronic, active Epstein-Barr virus infection associated with Kawasaki disease-like coronary artery aneurysms. The Epstein-Barr virus genome was detected in three cardiac tissue samples and one aortic tissue sample examined by means of the polymerase chain reaction. These findings suggest that chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection may play a pathogenic role in the development of coronary artery aneurysms.
我们描述了三名患有慢性活动性爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染并伴有川崎病样冠状动脉瘤的患者。通过聚合酶链反应检测,在三个心脏组织样本和一个主动脉组织样本中发现了爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒基因组。这些发现表明,慢性爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染可能在冠状动脉瘤的发生发展中起致病作用。
