PBMC viral loads were obtained using real-time PCR. Increased mean viral loads, indicated by elevated levels of EBV DNA/cell, were observed in the IBD positive group when compared to the IBD negative control group. Significant differences were only seen in the perioperative IBD group (p = 0.002 for perioperative patients (SG) compared to controls, p=0.001 for SG compared to medically managed patients (MG), and p=0.0006 for SG compared to inflammatory controls). Patients in the perioperative group had IBD that was refractive to conventional therapies and required surgery. These patients also had very high activity of the disease at time of sample collection. (* indicated p<0.05 by Mann Whitney test for individual comparisons and 1 way ANOVA using the Kruskall-Wallis test and Dunns multiple comparison test).
