We studied two cases of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) recently seen at out institution for association with the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus. Biopsies from both patients fulfilled the established criteria for the diagnosis of BL. One case had clinical features resembling those of EB virus-associated BL, and showed a pattern of elevated titres of antibodies to EB viral antigens indicative of virus association. The second case had several clinical features resembling those of non-virus-associated BL, and did not show the diagnostic serologic pattern. This report documents for the first time the association of EB virus with BL in India, and indicates that the virus-associated and non-virus-associated forms of BL may coexist in this country.
我们研究了最近在我们机构发现的两例伯基特淋巴瘤（BL），以探讨其与爱泼斯坦-巴尔（EB）病毒的关联。两名患者的活检均符合既定的BL诊断标准。其中一例具有类似于EB病毒相关BL的临床特征，并显示出EB病毒抗原抗体滴度升高的模式，表明与病毒有关联。第二例具有一些类似于非病毒相关BL的临床特征，且未显示出诊断性血清学模式。本报告首次记录了印度EB病毒与BL的关联，并表明在该国，病毒相关型和非病毒相关型BL可能共存。
