Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) in children may be linked to herpesvirus infections, prompting a study on this connection.
- A multicenter study called NEPHROVIR included 164 newly diagnosed INS patients and 233 matched controls to analyze the presence of various herpesvirus DNA.
- Results showed that EBV DNA was significantly more common in INS patients (50.8%) than in controls (29.1%), indicating a potential role of viral infections in the onset of this condition.
