Graves' Disease Induced by Epstein-Barr Virus Lytic Reactivation
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Previous studies have proved that the lytic reactivation of latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was significantly associated with the onset of Graves'disease (GD), however, the morbidity of GD and recurrence rate of hyperthyroidism after antithyroid drugs treatment due to lytic reactivation of EBV is not understood. We will recruit patients with newly diagnosed GD and recurrence of hyperthyroidism after antithyroid drugs treatment. In order to confirm lytic reactivation of EBV, the number of EBV DNA copies,mRNA and protein expression of immediate-early, early and late lytic EBV genes,EBV +TRAb+cells will be tested. The proportion of lytic reactivation of EBV in newly diagnosed GD and recurrence of hyperthyroidism was evaluated.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The incidence rate of GD and and recurrence of hyperthyroidism due to lytic reactivation of EBV — 3 years
The GD patients with high number of EBV DNA copies, EBV +TRAb+cells and overexpression lytic genes are considered as lytic reactivation of EBV
