Prevalence and molecular epidemiology of CMV and EBV among nurses working in pediatrics, transplantology, and primary health care

The number of studies devoted to Epstein-Barr viral infection (EBV infection) has been growing in recent years. However, they all relate to the clinical aspects of this problem. Epidemiology issues remain practically unexplored. A review of domestic and foreign publications has shown that at the present stage there is a high intensity of the epidemic process of EBV infection both in Russia and abroad. The main indicators of unfavorable epidemiological situation are the ubiquitous spread of the pathogen and the increase in the incidence of infectious mononucleosis in recent years. The deterioration of the epidemic situation of EBV infection is influenced by changes in the immunological reactivity of various population groups due to the spread of HIV, HBV, HCV, the causative agent of tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2. The above makes it possible to classify the problem as a global one and determines the need for the rapid implementation of the system of epidemiological surveillance of EBV infection and optimization of the complex of preventive and anti-epidemic measures. Reducing the burden of EBV is possible only with the consolidated participation of specialists of various profiles.

The purpose of this article is to review and analyze the foreign and domestic scientific papers to assess the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) occurrence in the human population. A search of Russian and foreign publications in the PubMed and E-library databases was conducted. The high ecological and medical significance of EBV-infection is due to its global spread in the human population, lifelong persistence of EBV in the human body. Evidence has been collected EBV to be involved in the development of various somatic pathologies, such as rheumatic diseases and vasculitis, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular pathologies, pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, T- and B-cell lymphomas in children and adults, nasopharyngeal carcinoma. These diseases are the main causes of population disability and premature death not only in Russia, but also in the World. The deterioration of the ecological and epidemic situation for EBV-infection is associated with the other infectants spread that change the population immunological status. These include the human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, SARS-CoV-2, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. With the simultaneous persistence of these infectants, their synergistic or antagonistic effect on the human body occurs. In the modern World, the COVID-19 and the EBV-infection are simultaneously developing. It is difficult to say which infection is more significant in terms of medical, social. and economic losses of the human population. The EBV has been undeservedly given little attention. It is necessary to optimize preventive measures and epidemic surveillance for EBV-infection.
