✦ Synopsis
A 44-year-old man infected with human immunodeficiency virus had Hodgkin's disease, mixed cellularity, and malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large cell type. Colorimetric in-situ hybridization showed the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV] genome in the cells of the large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and in the Reed-Sternberg cells and reactive lymphocytes of the Hodgkin's lymphoma. These results suggest that EBV may play a similar causative role in both neoplasms. This colorimetric method of hybridization, yielding results within 8 hours, is applicable to archival material and will be useful in further epidemiologic work associating EBV and lymphoid proliferations and malignancies. Cancer 66:796-800, 1990.

## Abstract ## Introduction Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cHL) has been frequently associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), which can be found in a latent pattern in Reed‐Sternberg (RS) cells. However, the impact of the presence of EBV in RS cells and its prognosis are still controversial. We ana
Background. Reports on lymphoid malignancy and its treatment in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are limited. Methods. Antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were detected by indirect immunofluorescence. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes or biopsy specimen
