广泛分布的疱疹类病毒近来特别引起重视,因这些含DNA的病毒,已被鉴定为许多疾病的病因。最多见于人类者为人类疱疹病毒、带状疱疹-水痘病毒及大细胞病毒。 Epstein-Barr病毒(EBV)为最近所发现的人类疱疹病毒,这种病毒与以下三种疾病有关:Burkitt氏淋巴瘤(非洲淋巴瘤或非白血病性淋巴瘤)、鼻咽癌及传染性单核细胞增多症。兹简要介绍过去7年中有关EBV研究的报道如下。非洲淋巴瘤 1958年Burkitt注意到南非小孩中的淋巴肉瘤,其特点为此病在某些地区发生率很高,占儿童中肿瘤的50％以上,2岁以后发病率突然升高,
Widely distributed herpes viruses have received special attention recently, as these DNA-containing viruses have been identified as the cause of many diseases. The most common in humans are the human herpesvirus, shingles-varicella and cytomegalovirus. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a recently discovered human herpesvirus linked to three diseases: Burkitt’s lymphoma (African lymphomas or non-leukemias), nasopharyngeal carcinoma and infectious mononuclear Cytopenia. Here is a brief account of EBV studies over the past seven years. African Lymphomas Burkitt noted the lymphosarcoma in South African children in 1958 and was characterized by a high incidence of the disease in some areas, accounting for more than 50% of the tumors in children, a sudden increase in morbidity after 2 years of age,
