摘要:

目的 探讨Epstein-Barr病毒(EBV)感染在药疹发病中的作用。方法 应用PCR-Southern杂交技术检测32例药疹患者和30例正常人对照外周血单一核细胞中EBV特异性DNA片段BamHⅠ-W,筛选出EBV阳性标本,对EBV阳性标本进行RT-PCR和Southern杂交,检测EBV即刻早期基因BZLF1的表达;同时采用ELISA检测血清EBV衣壳抗原(VCA)-IgM抗体。结果 药疹患者和正常人对照EBV DNA阳性率分别为78.13%(25/32)和10.00%(3/30),药疹患者组明显高于正常人对照组(P < 0.01);轻型药疹和重型药疹患者阳性率的差异无统计学意义(P = 0.104)。25例药疹患者EBV DNA阳性标本中有3例EBV BZLF1 mRNA表达阳性,其中轻型药疹患者1例,重型药疹患者2例。32例药疹患者组中有6例EBV VCA-IgM抗体阳性,轻型和重型药疹患者阳性率差异无统计学意义(P = 0.672);30例对照组均为阴性。结论 药疹患者中存在EBV的活动性感染,EBV感染可能是影响药疹发病的环境因素之一。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in the etiology of drug eruption. Methods PCR-Southern blot was used to detect EBV-specific DNA fragment BamHⅠ-W in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 32 patients with drug eruption and 30 age- and sex-matched normal controls. The mRNA expression of EBV lytic gene BZLF1 in EBV DNA-positive samples was measured by RT-PCR and Southern blot. ELISA was performed to detect EBV virus capsule antigen (VCA)-specific IgM. Results The positivity rate of EBV DNA was significantly higher in patients with drug eruption than in normal controls (78.13% (25/32) vs 10.00% (3/30), P < 0.01), while no significant difference was noted between patients with severe and mild drug eruption (P > 0.05). The expression of BZLF1 mRNA was detected in 3 out of 25 EBV DNA-positive patients; of the 3 patients, 1 suffered from mild drug eruption, and 2 from severe drug eruption. EBV VCA-specific IgM was observed in 6 of 32 patients with drug eruption, but not in any normal controls. No significant difference in the positivity rate of EBV VCA-specific IgM existed between patients with severe and mild drug eruption (P > 0.05). Conclusions There is an active infection of EBV in patients with drug eruption. EBV infection is probably an environmental factor affecting the development of drug eruption.
