Abstract

Patients with a positive reaction to the Paul‐Bunnell test in the period 1961–72 were identified at nine different laboratories in Norway and matched against cases of malignant lymphoma registered at the Cancer Registry of Norway in the period 1961–75. Among 5, 840 patients having a positive Paul‐Bunnell test a total of six developed malignant lymphoma, three of these more than 1 year after the positive Paul‐Bunnell test. The expected number of malignant lymphoma was 2.04. Of the six lymphoma cases, five were classified as Hodgkin's disease (HD). The present investigation agrees well with the findings of other epidemiological studies. There seems to be a small excess in incidence of HD among patients with previous infectious mononucleosis (IM), but both diagnostic problems and possible confounding factors must be taken into account before a possible causal association is considered.

Intracranial Hodgkin's disease is very rare and is often a terminal event. The case of a 33-year-old man who relapsed in the anterior pituitary gland without other evidence of disease 6 months after extended field radiation therapy for Stage IIA Hodgkin's disease is presented. He remains well with n

CD23 is induced in B cells upon infection by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and a soluble form (soluble CD23: sCD23) is found in culture supernatants from EBV-transformed B cell lines. Based on these observations, we measured serum sCD23 levels in patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM) caused by EBV
