Pyothorax-associated lymphoma with the expression of Epstein-Barr virus latent genes

Lymphoma associated with Epstein-Barr virus-positive pyothorax.

Expression of Epstein-Barr virus in Hodgkin lymphoma Specimens in IRAN.

Background & Objectives: The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV( is related with various diseases including infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and post-transplant lymphoprolifrative disorders. The aim of this study was to characterize the association between EBV and Hodgkin's lymphoma through EBERs in situ hybridization (EBER-ISH) in Iranian pat...

Expression of bcl-2 in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines: induction by latent Epstein-Barr virus genes.

The bcl-2 oncogene blocks programmed cell death (apoptosis). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can immortalize B lymphocytes into continuously growing lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) by the coordinate expression of at least 9 latent genes (EBV nuclear antigen [EBNA] 1-6, latent membrane protein [LMP], and terminal proteins [TP] 1 and 2). We analyzed transcription and expression of bcl-2 and latent EBV g...

Lymphoma infectious mononucleosis by Epstein-Barr virus: A case report

Background: Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) causes infectious mononucleosis in more than 90% of children. Rarely, mononucleosis may lead to malignancy. The aim the current study was to introduce a child with mononucleosis and persistent adenopathy. Case report: A 4-year-old male patient presented with complaints of fever, shortness of breath and sore throat. He was treated with antibiotics and prednis...

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...
