Epstein-Barr virus-associated Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) frequently have many years to experience the long-term toxicities of combined modality therapies. Also, a significant proportion of HL patients will relapse or have refractory disease, and less than half of these patients will respond to current salvage strategies. 30-50% of HL cases are Epstein-Barr virus associated (EBV-positive HL). The virus is localized...

Pyothorax-associated lymphoma: relationship with Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus-8 and body cavity-based high grade lymphomas.

Pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL) is a newly-described entity developing several decades after artificial pneumothorax treatment for pulmonary or pleural tuberculosis. It is known to be associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with constant expression of the two latent membrane proteins: latent membrane protein (LMP)-1 and EBV-associated nuclear antigen (EBNA)-2. We are reporting three new ca...
