[Detection of Epstein-Barr virus in lymphoproliferative diseases by in situ hybridization]
Objective:
To study the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and various lymphoproliferative diseases in China.
Methods:
Tissues from 214 patients with lymphoproliferative diseases were examined for the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using in situ hybridization with EBV's LMP gene as probe.
Results:
The positive rate of EBV in Hodgkin's disease(HD), Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma(NHL), benign lymphoid proliferative disease(BLP) was 30.0%(15/50), 14.0%(18/129), 2.9%(1/35), respectively. Among NHL, EBV was detected in 28.1%(9/32) of high grade lymphoma (HNHL), 10.5%(9/84) of medium grade lymphoma(MNHL) and in none(0/9) of low grade lymphoma(LNHL). Significantly higher rates than that of BLP were observed in HD and HNHL. No significant differences in rates among patients with MNHL, LNHL and BLP.
Conclusion:
EBV may be involved in the pathogenesis of HD and HNHL, but not in MNHL and LNHL.
