Expression of Epstein-Barr virus in Hodgkin lymphoma Specimens in IRAN.
Authors
Abstract:
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 patients. Materials & Methods: In this study, 43 Hodgkin's lymphoma tissue samples were selected from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks and analyzed by EBERs in situ hybridization. Data analyzed by SPSS16 statistical software, Fisher's exact test and Mantel-Haensel significant level 0.05.Results: 43 Hodgkin's lymphoma patients were 29 (67%) male samples and 14 (33%) female samples. In 20 (47%) samples Epstein-Barr virus was present. The positive cases included 13 samples male and 7 samples female. Fisher's exact test showed statistically no significant difference between sex and subtypes. Age distribution of relation of Hodgkin's lymphoma and EBV virus were 75% (12 of 16) in the age group of 1-14 years, 22% (5 of 23) in the age group 15-49 years and 75% (3 of 4) in the age group over 49 years, respectively. Fisher's exact test showed statistically significant difference between 1-14 and 15-49 age group years (p-value: 0.003).Conclusion: Results shown higher presence rate of Epstein-Barr virus in Hodgkin's lymphoma specimens of children and older adult. This pattern is similar to other developing countries.

Frequency of epstein-barr virus in classical hodgkin Lymphoma.
BACKGROUND Epstein-Barr virus plays an important role in pathogenesis of Hodgkin lymphoma. The first patient with Epstein-Barr positive Reed Sternberg cells was described in 1985. Since then association between Epstein-Barr virus and Hodgkin lymphoma has been shown in many parts of the world and its occurrence shows significant variation from continent to continent and from country to country. ...

background: expression of epstein-barr virus latent member protein-1 (ebv lmp-1) and loss of p16 protein expression are documented in lymphoma, indicating a relationship between them, but this relationship is not clear and sometimes contradictory. thus, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between the loss of p16 and ebv lmp-1 expression in jordanian patients diagnosed with lymp...

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is highly associated with specific subtypes of malignant lymphoma such as types of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of EBV in NHL and its association with clinical parameters. Patients and Methods: twenty cases entered to our study. After re-blocking of previous paraffin embedded specimens, new slides were ...

Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is present in the malignant Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of a proportion of cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), how the virus contributes to the pathogenesis of this disease remains poorly defined. It is clear from the studies of other EBV-associated cancers that the virus is usually not sufficient for tumor development and that other oncogenic co-...

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...

BACKGROUND Chronic Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection in an immunocompetent host has been described however it is not a common entity. It has been linked to many lymphoproliferative disorders and achieves such via many molecular mechanisms, some of which are poorly understood. In addition to infectious mononucleosis, the EBV is linked to various other hematological pathologies and autoimmune di...
