چکیده
Received for publication: 8-12-10 Accepted for publication: 8-12-10 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an ubiquitous human herpes virus that has been identified as the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis, a self-limited lymphoproliferative disease and, in general, is self-limiting in the immunocompetent host. The disease has a benign course. EBV has also been identified or associated with epithelial and lymphoid malignancies in immunocompetent patients as well as those immunocompromised, such as in the cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, AIDSassociated lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s disease, among others.
