Abstract

Clinical manifestations of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection are diverse. This study aimed to explore the immune response in EBV-related diseases and the correlation between immune cells and adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels. This study was conducted at the Children's Hospital of Soochow University. In total, 104 patients with EBV-associated respiratory tract infection (EBV-RTI), 32 patients with atypical EBV infection, 54 patients with EBV-associated infectious mononucleosis (IM1, with normal alanine aminotransferase [ALT] levels), 50 patients with EBV-IM2 (with elevated ALT levels), 50 patients with acute respiratory infection (AURI, with other pathogens), and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Indicators of ADA, immunoglobulins (Igs), and lymphocyte subsets were analyzed for EBV-related diseases. Differences in the white blood cell, lymphocyte counts, ADA levels, IgA, IgG and IgM titers, percentage of CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD16+CD56+, CD3-CD19+, and CD19+CD23+ lymphocytes, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio between EBV-related disease groups were all statistically significant (P < 0.01). ADA levels in the EBV-related disease groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). The lymphocyte count, ADA levels, IgA and IgG titers, and percentage of CD3+ and CD3+CD8 + lymphocytes in the atypical EBV infection, EBV-IM1, and EBV-IM2 groups were significantly higher than those in the EBV-RTI, AUTI, and control groups (P < 0.01), whereas the percentage of CD3+CD4+, CD3-CD19+, and CD19+CD23+ lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ ratio showed the opposite trend. ADA levels were consistent with and closely related to the viral load and cellular and humoral immunity in EBV-related diseases. ADA levels, humoral immunity, and cellular immunity were diverse in EBV-related diseases, and ADA was closely related to Igs and lymphocyte subsets.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 April 2023.
All research outputs
#17,585,374
of 25,782,229 outputs
Outputs from Italian Journal of Pediatrics
#583
of 1,081 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#244,703
of 414,821 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Italian Journal of Pediatrics
#7
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,782,229 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,081 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 414,821 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
