Seroprevalence of EBV was highest in patients >40 years of age (92.9%) and lowest in patients 14-25 years of age (78.2%). The rate of seroconversion in EBV-naïve patients was 16.7% after a mean follow-up time of 47.9 ± 46.3 months.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In our cohort of IBD patients, 16.8% were naïve to EBV, and young age was a significant predictor of EBV non-exposure.
