We compared primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and suppression between Kenyan human immunodeficiency virus-infected infants starting nevirapine-based vs lopinavir/ritonavir-based antiretroviral regimens. Although the rate of EBV infection was similar between groups, infants receiving lopinavir/ritonavir suppressed EBV more rapidly. Our findings suggest that specific antiretrovirals may ...

The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a gamma-herpesvirus involved with variety of human cancers, notably the endemic Burkitt lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In 2004, EBV was described as one first known oncoviruses to encode viral microRNAs (miRNAs), these molecules were found interact host targets. miRNAs modulate biological processes that are critical for carcinogenesis, contributing cell t...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a benign disease, which may occasionally be fatal, particularly in children and immunocompromised patients. Epstein-Barr virus infection is rare in elderly subjects and seems to have a self-limited course. A case of fatal liver failure due to chronic active EBV infection in a 75-year-old man is described. The etiology was established postmortem by cellular ...

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is an endemic disease, over 90% of the population being exposed to it by adulthood. EBV is implicated in the etiology of a significant number of neoplasms, which acquire particular features in terms of course and prognosis. Incidence rates are much higher in children. To establish the link between EBV and neoplasms, EBER (Epstein-Barr virus non-encoded RNA...

epstein barr virus (ebv) is one of seven known herpes virus pathogenic for humans.since it is ubiquitous, it infects nearly 95% of individuals worldwide by adulthood .ebv is the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis(im)and is implicated in burkitt lymphoma,nasopharyngeal carcinoma and x-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome.diagnosis of im based upon clinical manifesta¬tions in conjunction ...

INTRODUCTION: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are herpesviruses, which account for the majority of oral viral infections. Herpes simplex virus, varicellazoster virus, and Epstein-Barr virus infections nearly always result from reactivation of latent virus, while cytomegalovirus infections, besides presenting as reactivated disease, are almost as likely to present as a primary...

epstein-barr virus (ebv) was discovered 50 years ago from an african burkitt lymphoma cell line. ebv-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (lpds) are life-threatening diseases, especially in children. in this article, we review ebv-associated lpds, especially in the area of primary immunodeficiency disease (pid). we searched pubmed for publications with key words including ebv infection, lym...

BACKGROUND Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (EBV) is a systemic EBV-positive lymphoproliferative disease, which may lead to fatal illness. There currently no standard treatment regimen for chronic EBV (CAEBV), and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation the only effective treatment. We here report CAEBV patient treated with PEG-aspargase, who achieved negative EBV-DNA. CASE SUMMARY A...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous pathogen that was first identified as a human cancer virus. Many human cancers are associated with EBV, and we demonstrated that EBV infects macrophages. Macrophages infected with EBV show a close correlation with many human cancers, and thus more attention must be given to the role of macrophages infiltrating into cancer tissues associated with EBV. In ...

Abstract Introduction Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection can present with a variety of manifestation. Case Report Here we present a case of a 7 yearold immunocompetent girl who came with acute abdominal pain , had echocardiographic evidence of myocardial dysfunction and finally was diagnosed as a case of serologically proven acute EBV infection. Conclusion Isolated gastrointestinal symptoms can...
