## BACKGROUND. The association of Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) and Hodglun's disease (HD) has been suggested by serologic, epidemiologic, and molecular biologic studies. The high level of EBV association with HD in the developing countries was discussed in relation to the high HD incidence in these are

โฆ Synopsis
Hodgkin's disease (HD) is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in approximately half of cases. This is a report of a case of nodular sclerosing HD of the B-cell type that was associated with EBV in the initial manifestation, but was found to be EBV-negative in the relapse of the tumour. Both tumours displayed similar clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical features. This finding implies that in a given individual EBV can be lost from malignant tumours and therefore shows that the EBV infection is not required to maintain neoplastic growth of HD tumour cells. 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been frequently documented in the putative neoplastic Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, in lymph nodes from patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD). This association varies in different geographic areas and between industrialized and developing countries, as does the epid
## BACKGROUND. The association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with Hodgkin's disease (HD) is intimately related to socioeconomic status. The proportion of HD patients with EBV is high in developing countries but low in developed countries. The aim of this study was to delineate the association of EBV
Hodgkin's disease (HD) has long been suspected to have an infectious precursor, and indirect evidence has implicated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous herpesvirus, as a causal agent. Recent molecular studies using EBER in situ hybridization or latency membrane protein-1 (LMP-1) immunohistochemi
## Several lines of evidence suggest that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an important factor in the pathogenesis of Hodgkin's disease (HD). This Editorial focuses on two pathogenic mechanisms probably influenced by the presence of EBV in the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) cells: resistance of th
