Abstract
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the importance of possible immunologic and viral etiologies in the patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Forty patients (Group 1) referred to Dicle University, Department of Otorhinolaryngology between January 2010 and October 2011 for sudden sensorineural hearing loss were included to this prospective controlled study. Control group (Group 2) was constituted from healthy subjects. These group 1 patients were screened for common virus infections and immunologic factors in order to determine their possible relationship with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. In this study; there was no statistically significant difference in the mean immunologic parameters between the groups except complementary factor C4. Also there was no statistically significant difference in viral serology between the groups. Therefore, we conclude that HSV, HBV, HCV, HIV, EBV and CMV are not directly involved in the etiology of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in most patients.
