Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection has been shown as a potential risk factor for the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This prospective research aimed to investigate whether EBV infection markers changed during the six-month follow-up period in 133 RA patients (80 newly diagnosed on methotrexate (MTX)—RA-A, and 53 on biologic therapy—RA-B) and whether it was related to a disease outcome. Reduction of disease activity and inflammation was obtained. A significant decline in seroprevalence and titer for anti-VCA-IgM (p = 0.022 and p = 0.026) and anti-EA(D)-IgM (p = 0.022 and p = 0.006) in RA-A, and in seroprevalence and titer of anti-EA(D)-IgG in the RA-B subgroup (p = 0.021 and p = 0.006) were detected after the follow-up. A lower titer of anti-EBNA1-IgG could be considered a significant marker of RA remission in all RA patients regardless of age and gender (OR = 0.99, 95% CI OR = 0.98–0.99, p = 0.038), and also in RA-B patients separately (OR = 0.988, 95% CI OR = 0.98–0.99, p = 0.041). This study supported the basic hypothesis that the immune response to EBV infection is involved in the RA pathogenesis, at the beginning of the disease or during the RA evolution. Moreover, the potential influence of MTX or TNF-alpha inhibitors on the impairment of the host to control EBV infection was indirectly refuted.
