dc.description.abstract Borna disease virus (BDV) causes behavioral disorders in rats infected in the newborn period. We investigated BDV serology in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
dc.description.abstract Method: Ninety-nine children with ADHD (mean age: 8.7 +/- 2.5) and 104 control children (mean age: 8.4 +/- 2.8) were included in the study. All sera were investigated using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method for BDV antibodies.
dc.description.abstract Results: The rate of sero-positivity was 2% (2 of 99) in ADHD and 3.8% (4 of 104) in the control group. There was no significant difference between ADHD and control group for BDV sero-positivity.
dc.description.abstract Conclusion: Our results do not support a role of BDV infections in the pathogenesis of ADHD.
