Introduction. The discovery of two types EpsteinBarr virus (EBV) (EBV-1 and EBV-2) that have different biological properties stimulated the search for neoplasms associated with each type virus.
 aim work is to study nature association nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) EBV-1 EBV-2, serological activity viral concentration EBV DNA in blood plasma gender, age ethnic groups NPC patients represent ge...

Burkitt’s Lymphoma (BL) is a rare monoclonal proliferation of Blymphocytes and is classified as a poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma. It is highly aggressive. Symptoms are caused by rapid turnover of the mature B lymphocytes and the involvement of extranodal sites and invasion of adjacent organs. This tumor was first noted in Africans. The cause of this tumor is debatable, but strong ev...

We describe two cases of multifocal lymphadenopathy due to concurrent cytomegalovirus and EpsteinBarr virus infections after chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patients presented with suspected local recurrence on computed tomography and positron emission tomography-computed tomography at 19 and 8 months after completion of chemotherapy, but neither had any signs of systemic in...

A 58-year-old healthy woman suffered from headache and high fever above 38°C. At three days after symptom onset, she noticed speech disturbance. On the following day, she was admitted to our hospital because of gait disturbance and exacerbation of the speech disturbance. On admission, her body temperature was 37.5°C. Neurological examinations disclosed ataxic dysarthria, limb ataxia and wide-ba...

A British disease Myalgic encephalomyelitis is a new name for an old disease with an impressive history of synonyms. It's a British disease, unknown in the New World; but North America is in the grip of chronic EpsteinBarr virus infection, and Australasia has repetitive stress injury, which unkind people say is myalgic compensationitis. Myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic EpsteinBarr virus wi...

The aim was to evaluate the etiologies of Fever of Intermediate Duration (FID) in a prospective study performed at an Infectious Diseases Department in Spain (January 2005-August 2008 and January-July 2010). An infectious cause (62.50% bacteria and 37.50% viruses) was attributed in 77.67% cases, 4.85% were non-infectious cases, and for 17.48% the etiology was unknown. Using immunofluorescence a...

immunosuppression, other factors including EpsteinBarr virus infection, chronic antigen stimulation, and proto-oncogenes, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the different clinical and histopathological manifestations of AIDS related non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, whereas human herpes virus type 8 may be an infectious cofactor which is required for all forms of Kaposi’s sarcoma. Our data indic...

Background—For a long time, enteroviruses have been considered to be the most common cause of acute viral myocarditis (MC), with possible transition from MC to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Recent investigations have shown, however, that other viruses are also frequently encountered in MC patients, suggesting that persistence of various virus species may play a pathogenic role in the transition...

In the literature, a correlation has been suggested between the occurrence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) and EpsteinBarr virus (EBV) type 2 infection. To further investigate a possible role for EBV type 2 infection in the development of AIDS-NHL, we developed a sensitive and type-specific nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and analy...
