TaqMan Real-Time Quantification of Epstein-Barr Virus in Severe Early Childhood Caries

摘要: Objectives: Early childhood caries (ECC) has several risk factors and it is important stressful/painful events of immunosuppression may occur during this unique rampant pattern. The changes in the host immune competence by compromised cellular system functions can activate Epstein Barr virus (EBV). objective study was to determine whether supragingival plaque samples severe-ECC (S-ECC) patients harbor more EBV load than non-carious healthy children quantitative TaqMan Real-Time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
