association between epstein-barr virus infection and b-cell lymphoproliferative diseases: a case-control study
نویسندگان
چکیده
results of the 89 subjects, 53 were male and 36 females, aged 14 to 82 years. there was no significant difference between ebv seroprevalence in the patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma, and the healthy subjects. conclusions the results of the current study indicated no relationship between latent ebv infection and lymphoma or multiple myeloma. however, further studies with larger sample sizes are required. patients and methods in the current case-control study, a total of 43 patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma and 46 age/sex-matched healthy people were included. after taking written consent, serum samples were taken from all subjects. the level of igg against viral capsid antigen was measured using elisa. antibody titers > 5 u/ml was considered as positive. data were analyzed using stata 11 software. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the relationship between ebv infection and b-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, including lymphoma and multiple myeloma. background epstein-barr virus (ebv) is a member of the herpesviridae family that has infected more than 90% of the worlds’ population. ebv is now considered etiologically associated with the endemic burkitt's lymphoma, hodgkin disease, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. recent findings show the association between ebv infection and other malignancies.

Association between Epstein - Barr Virus (EBV) and Breast Cancer
Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in females worldwide. Several etiological factors including environmental factors have been recognized for breast cancer. Epstein Barr virus as a viral etiological factor has been proposed. So far, several studies have investigated the relationship between development of breast cancer and Epstein Barr virus, but few have been done in Iran....
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus infection and gastrointestinal diseases
Epstein-Barr is a member of the herpesvirus family that infects more than 90% of the worlds population. Although primary infection typically occurs within the first few years of life or in adolescence and is generally asymptomatic or results in infectious mononucleosis respectively, in some cases the virus is implicated with the development of a large spectrum of gastrointestinal malignant and...
متن کاملA Case of Severe Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus Infection with T-cell lymphoproliferative Disorder
Chronic infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) without previous immunodeficiency or immuno-suppressive therapy is relatively rare. Severe chronic active EBV (SCAEBV) infection was reported for the first time in 1984 as 'chronic mononucleosis syndrome', and diagnostic criteria were proposed. It is characterized by clinical features including fever, severe hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, he...
متن کاملAn Adult Case of Severe Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus Infection with T-Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an ubiquitous human herpesvirus that mainly infects B-cells. After primary infection, EBV can induce both replicative (productive or lytic) and latent (persistent) infections in lymphocytes. Latent EBV infection is linked to the development of severe chronic active EBV (SCAEBV) infection with T-cell/natural killer cell (T/NK-cell) lymphoproliferative disorder (LP...
متن کاملImmunophenotyping of Nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas and its Association with Epstein-Barr Virus
Background: Immunophenotyping in the rare group of nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) exposes interesting features such as T-cell marker downregulation and paradoxically, the presence of reactive, clustered large-sized CD20 positive B-cells (B-cell proliferation). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested as a putative etiology in pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to review the ...
