Relationship between the risk of intestinal mucosal Epstein–Barr virus and/or cytomegalovirus infection and peripheral blood NK cells numbers in patients with ulcerative colitis: a cross-sectional study in Chinese population
There was a non-linear relationship between NK cells and EBV/CMV infections. The risk for EBV/CMV infections was not increased with increasing NK cells in individuals with NK cells ≥ 10.169%, whereas the risk for EBV and/or CMV infection was increased with an decreasing NK cells in those with NK cells < 10.169%. The risk of EBV/CMV infections increases when NK cells were below a certain level.
