AbstractSera of 86 children with congenital heart defects aged 6–23 months (mean age 11.4 months) and 113 controls of corresponding age distribution were collected during a 16-month period and tested for the presence of antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). No significant difference in the proportion of antibody-positive children (10.5 and 8.8, respectively) and in the incidence of high titres (4.7 and 1.8, respectively) was demonstrable. It is evident that EBV is not a major factor in the aetiology of congenital heart disease. |
