近几年研究证明,传染性单核细胞增多症(以下简称IM)的病原体是Epstein-Barr病毒(以下简称EBV)。由于EBV特异性抗体测定已广泛应用于流行病学研究和临床,因而对本病的许多方面有了新的认识。病原与流行病学 EBV与IM EBV属疱疹病毒群,系Epstein和Barr等从非洲淋巴瘤细胞培养中最先发现的。电镜下形态结构与此群的其它病毒相同,但抗原性各异。此病毒分离困难,但它能使无 In recent years, studies have shown that infectious pathogens of mononucleosis (hereinafter referred to as IM) Epstein-Barr virus (hereinafter referred to as EBV). As EBV-specific antibody assays have been widely used in epidemiological studies and clinical settings, new insights into many aspects of this disease have emerged. Pathogens and Epidemiology EBV and IM EBV are herpes viruses, which were first discovered in African lymphoma cell cultures by Epstein and Barr et al. Electron microscopy morphological structure and other viruses in this group the same, but different antigenicity. The virus is difficult to separate, but it can make no
