In order to examine the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the pathogenesis of chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV), we investigated whether or not EBV integration into the human genome is associated with any chromosonal abnormality. We therefore analyzed 4 cases of CAEBV: 2 cases showed a normal k

Abstract
Since the initial report of unusual manifestations possibly associated with chronic active EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) infection (CAEBV), nearly three decades have passed. During this period, reported cases with this entity have dramatically increased in the world. Additionally, recent development of diagnostic procedures, including molecular biological and immunological techniques, have provided us with the ability to define certain diseases, especially malignant disorders. Guidelines, derived mainly from the current literature and recent experiences with CAEBV in Japan, for diagnosing CAEBV are proposed to clarify this enigmatic disease. Am. J. Hematol. 80:64β69, 2005.

In order to elucidate the possibility of lymphoproliferation in cases of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV), to clarify the clonality and genotype of proliferating lymphocytes, and to search for the factors that induce lymphoproliferation, we studied 11 cases of CAEBV, using genetic
To assess the abnormal T-cell expansion in chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV), T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire was analyzed in four patients with the disease. All fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of CAEBV, presenting with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, abnormal high
