Association between serum nitric oxide and Epstein–Barr virus in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a case–control study

Conclusion: Adult SLE patients had higher frequencies of EBV-DNA, EBV IgG and NO levels compared with healthy controls. Exposure to EBV could be associated with the increased activity of SLE (higher SLEDAI) rather than the development of the disease, and the increased NO could be a mediator of this.
