[Serological and epidemiological features of infections, caused by Epstein-Barr virus, in the Republic of Belarus].
Incidence and spectrum of antibodies to diagnostically significant Epstein-Barr virus antigens are studied by enzyme immunoassay and immunodot method in 178 subjects living in areas with different levels of radioactive contamination. A tendency to earlier infection of children and a more frequent reactivation of latent infection in adults are observed at contaminated territories in comparison with the "clean" regions. The authors propose immunoecological monitoring aimed at timely detection of groups at risk of immunodeficiencies and neoplastic diseases.
