Abstract

This study carried out to show the association between Epstein-Barr
Virus (EBV) infection and asthma. a cohort 65 serum samples were
collected from asthma patients within age group of 15-62 years ( 37
females and 28 males) and 20 healthy controls. The levels of IgE and
EBV IgM antibodies were measured by ELISA assay. The results
showed that IgE levels increased with severity of asthma (327.95 IU/ml)
and the high level of IgE in asthma patients with age group (45-55 years)
was 306 IU/ml. Sero detection of EBV showed that EBV infection
increased with severity of asthma and was highest in females with severe
asthma. serum IgE levels were high in asthmatic as compared to healthy
controls and the highest levels of it was in severity of asthma. On other
hand, there was weak significant correlation between levels of IgE and
EBV infections in asthma patients
