Abstract

A substantial proportion of the lymphomas in HIV-carriers are EBV positive. Together with the fact that there are multiple signs of EBV-activation in AIDS-patients and patients with ARC or PGL, this suggests that these virus carrying tumors develop as results of the immunosuppression, and that EBV has an important role in their pathogenesis.
