## Abstract The laboratory diagnosis of primary and reactivated EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) infection is based on serologic methods in immunocompetent patients. However, in immunocompromised patients, serologic data are difficult to interpret and do not often correlate with clinical data. In order to
DNA from malignant cells is present in the serum/plasma of cancer patients and DNA from this source is amenable to analysis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the present study, we evaluated whether Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA is present in the serum of patients with EBV-associated Hodgkin's di
Viral infection is assumed to trigger or exacerbate autoimmune responses against pancreatic beta cells leading to the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). We therefore examined by polymerase chain reaction the presence of two candidate viruses, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr
