Latent Sites of Epstein-Barr Virus Infection

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1993
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been detected in a wide spectrum of tumors. This study investigates the detection rate of EBV-DNA by Southern blot hybridization analysis (SOBH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in different tissues from persons without apparent EBV-related diseases.

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection in infancy

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2001
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been shown to be the cause of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and has more complicated associations with several malignant diseases. These EBV associated diseases provide a strong incentive for the development of an EBV vaccine. Most primary EBV infection during infancy and early childhood is mild or subclinical.

Chronicity of Epstein-Barr Virus Infection

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1985
Excerpt Multiple lines of investigation using serologic, virologic, and immunologic techniques have solidly established that infectious mononucleosis results from a primary infection with Epstein-B...

The ABC of Epstein-Barr Virus Infections

2007
The EBV has evolved mechanisms that allow it to take advantages of different aspects of the human immune system, resulting in evasion of the defense mechanisms of the host. The virus is capable of resting calmly in a "sea of tranquility". The virus has the unique ability among herpesviruses to transform infected B lymphocytes, thereby creating the ...

Serum epstein–barr virus DNA load in primary epstein–barr virus infection

Journal of Medical Virology, 2004
AbstractSpecific viral laboratory diagnosis of primary Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) infection is usually based on antibody‐detection assays. During acute, lytic phase of infection, viral DNA can also be detected in serum. In the present study, the diagnostic utility of EBV DNA detection and quantitation in serum in primary EBV infection was investigated ...

Immunological aspects of Epstein–Barr virus infection

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2002
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of ubiquitous gamma herpes viruses, which primarily induces acute infectious mononucleosis (IM) or subclinical infection in susceptible subjects. The host reactions account for the clinical manifestation of IM. This virus also contributes to the development of lymphoid or epithelial malignancies.

Diagnostic Testing in Epstein-Barr Virus Infection

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2001
Laboratory diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is improving with the development of new technologies. Quantification of the virus by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and evaluation of EBV-specific T cells, especially by tetrameric human leukocyte antigens, are noteworthy candidates for monitoring procedures in clinical laboratories

Modes of infection and oncogenesis by the Epstein–Barr virus

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2014
SUMMARYThe EBV is a human γ‐herpesvirus associated with various neoplasms. It is responsible for causing cancers of B, T, and NK cells as well as cells of epithelial origin. Such diversity in target cells and the complicated steps of oncogenesis are perplexing when we speculate about the mechanisms of action of EBV‐positive cancers. Here, we first note

Persistent Epstein-Barr Virus Infection and Pregnancy

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1983
Women seropositive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were studied during pregnancy for reactivation of latent, persistent infection. Individual women usually (94%) maintained constant titers of antibodies to EBV-specific antigens, including viral capsid antigen, early antigen, and EBV-associated nuclear antigen.

The Epstein-Barr virus and EB virus infections in childhood

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1979
A DECADE has passed since the Epstein-Barr virus was shown to be the etiologic agent of heterophile-positive infectious mononucleosis. In the intervening ten years much attention has been focused on the pathogenesis of the disease, the unique biologic characteristics of the virus, the epidemiology of EBV infection in various parts of the world, and the
