Importance of Epstein–Barr virus infection in pathogenesis of proliferative complications in children with endogenous uveitis

Endogenous uveitis (EU) in children is a multifactorial sight-threatening disease that reduces patient’s quality of life. Proliferative syndrome (PS) coupled to developing adhesions, opacity of vitreous body, epiretinal and preretinal membranes is one of the most serious EU complications, with yet-u...

Importance of Epstein–Barr virus infection in pathogenesis of proliferative complications in children with endogenous uveitis
description Endogenous uveitis (EU) in children is a multifactorial sight-threatening disease that reduces patient’s quality of life. Proliferative syndrome (PS) coupled to developing adhesions, opacity of vitreous body, epiretinal and preretinal membranes is one of the most serious EU complications, with yet-unknown pathogenesis. Among the numerous trigger factors, a role for infections, particularly human herpes group-driven, is proposed. The goal of the study was to assess a potential role of Herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1), Herpes simplex viruses type 2 (HSV-2), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) played in the PS pathogenesis in children with endogenous uveitis. 112 patients aged 3–17 years (mean age 10 years) with (93 patients)/without PS (19 children) were examined.
