## Abstract Because EpsteinโBarr virus (EBV) is ubiquitous and persists latently in lymphocytes, simply detecting EBV is insufficient to diagnose EBVโassociated diseases. Therefore, measuring the EBV load is necessary to diagnose EBVโassociated diseases and to explore EBV pathogenesis. Due to the d
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
