title: [Does virus diagnosis open new ways for the classification and treatment of sudden deafness, unilateral vestibular loss and idiopathic facial paralysis?].
abstract: Paired sera from 51 patients with sudden deafness, 21 patients with acute vestibular loss and 28 patients with Bell's palsy were examined for antibodies against mumps-, echo-, herpes simplex- and coxsackie viruses. Only two serum samples showed a significant titer increase or decrease. So viral etiology of sudden deafness, acute vestibular loss and Bell's palsy seems to be unlikely and does not change the assignment and therapy of this disease.
