عدوى الفيروس المضخم للخلايا وفيروس إبشتاين-بار بين الأردنيين: معدل الانتشار المصلي والعوامل المرتبطة

Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are widespread infections, with seroprevalence rates varying by region and demographic characteristics. This study aimed to examine the seroprevalence of EBV and CMV in the Jordanian population and explore possible risk factors associated with these infections. Methods A total of 1,507 individuals were recruited through convenience sampling from hospitals located in the central and northern regions of Jordan. Participants were stratified by age, sex, and geographic area. Blood samples were analyzed for EBV-VCA and CMV IgG antibodies using ELISA. Demographic and socioeconomic information was also collected. To identify potential risk factors, multivariate logistic regression was conducted, focusing on variables such as age, sex, marital status, education level, monthly income, region, and type of residence
