Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with around one-third of cases, but young adult cases are rarely EBV associated. In this study, known oncogenic DNA viruses, including human adenoviruses, papovaviruses and the human herpesviruses-6 (HHV-6) and -8 (HHV-8) were not detected in Hodgkin's disease lesions. These results suggest that an as yet unidentified infectious agent is involved in the pathogenesis of non-EBV-associated Hodgkin's disease.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)与约三分之一的病例相关,但年轻成人病例很少与EBV相关。在本研究中,在霍奇金病病变中未检测到已知的致癌DNA病毒,包括人类腺病毒、乳头多瘤空泡病毒以及人类疱疹病毒6型(HHV-6)和8型(HHV-8)。这些结果表明,一种尚未确定的感染因子参与了非EBV相关霍奇金病的发病机制。
