A seroepidemiological study was carried out on 502 sera to determine the prevalence of EBV infection in a group of Bangladeshi people (age range: 15 days-90 years). All sera were tested for IgG antibody to the EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA) by a commercially available enzyme linked immunosorbent ass

Serological diagnosis of herpes virus infections is hampered by concurrent expression of IgM for heterologous members of this virus family. To assess the frequency of such multiple diagnostic findings and to understand their etiology, we sought by using IgG, IgM, and IgG avidity test serodiagnoses f
Epstein-Barr virus infection can affect both the central and peripheral nervous system. In some patients this occurs concurrently. Two patients are presented with encephalopathy and acute quadriparesis with diminished reflexes. Positive serology for Epstein-Barr virus was found in both patients. Bot
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
FIG. 1. MRI showed symmetric (A) hypointensity signal on T1weighted imaging and (B) hyperintensity signal on T2-weighted imaging in bilateral substantia nigra on admission. A repeated MRI after 3 months showed resolution of the lesions on (C) T2-weighted imaging and (D) T1-weighted imaging.
of Lymphoid Ma I i g n a ncies BACKGROUND. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been frequently detected in lymphoid malignancies. However, EBV infectioii in the nonneoplastic cells of lymphoid malignancies has not been extensively studied. ## METHODS. Four hundred nine cases of lymphoid malignancies
