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

MATERIAL AND METHODS ## Cases Cases were selected from a series of lymphomas collected at the Departments of Pathology at the Beijing Hospital, the Beijing Railway General Hospital, the Third Army Medical University, the 305 Hospital, and the Hepingli Hospital, China, during the period 1977 to 19
Hodgkin's disease (HD) has long been suspected to have an infectious precursor, and indirect evidence has implicated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous herpesvirus, as a causal agent. Recent molecular studies using EBER in situ hybridization or latency membrane protein-1 (LMP-1) immunohistochemi
## BACKGROUND. The association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with Hodgkin's disease (HD) is intimately related to socioeconomic status. The proportion of HD patients with EBV is high in developing countries but low in developed countries. The aim of this study was to delineate the association of EBV
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
