association of epstein-barr virus and hodgkin’s disease

چکیده
we have analyzed paraffin sections from 55 patients with histologically confirmed hodgkin’s disease (hd) for the presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) markers using in situ hybridization to detect the ebv-encoded rnas (ebers) and immunohistochemistry to identify latent membrane protein-1 (lmp1) expression. tissue specimens from 55 cases of hodgkin’s disease included 22-mixed cellularity (mc), 27 nodular sclerosis (nc), one lymphocyte depleted (ld) and 5 lymphocyte predominance (lp). all of the confirmed ebv associated cases were examined and subtyped of the presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna by polymerase chain reaction. in situ hybridization revealed exclusive localization of virus in the tumor cells and fbv markers were present in 30 hd cases (55%) and were mainly confined to the mixed cellularity (mc) and nodular sclerosis (nc) subtypes. 1-mh immunohistochemistry has similar results as in situ hybridization. ebv positivity with regards of hd subtypes were 64% (14/22) mixed cellularity (mc), 44% (12/27) nodular sclerosis (ns), 0% (0/1) lymphocyte depleted (ld) and 80% (4/5) lymphocyte predominance (lp). epstein-barr virus-specific dna sequences were detected by pcr in dna extracts from paraffin-embedded tissues of all lmp1 positive cases. twenty-eight cases were type 1 ebv and 2 cases type 2 ebv. there was difference between ebv-positive and ebv-negative hd patients with regard to age. analysis of age group 1-14 years, 15-49 years and over 49 years, revealed 73% (16/22), 35% (10/29), 100% (4/4) ebv positivity, respectively. these findings compared to the ebv association pattern with hd in developed and developing countries suggest an overall intermediate pattern of ebv association with hd and high incidence of ebv children and elderly hd cases.

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 ...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus and MS:Causality or Association?
The search for the aetiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) has led to many theories over the years. It has become clear, however, that MS is complex and multifactorial, involving many interlacing mechanisms, many of which appear to be playing a role in the causation and evolution of the disease. In the large part for epidemiological reasons, an infectious aetiology has always been a prime suspect ...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus Association with Peptic Ulcer Disease
Background. Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) use are considered the main risk to develop peptic ulcer disease (PUD). However, PUD also occurs in the absence of HP infection and/or NSAID use. Recently, we have found evidence that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation increases the risk to develop premalignant and malignant gastric lesions. Objec...
