Epstein-Barr Virus Causes Nasopharyngeal Cancer and Lymphomas In addition to its original linkages with Burkitt's lymphoma and infectious mononucleosis, Epstein-Barr virus is now believed to be the cause of nasopharyngeal cancer, T-cell lymphoma, natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and gastric carcinoma. As usual, the anti-smokers ignore the role of this virus in order to falsely blame smoking and passive smoking. EBV has been declared a Class I human carcinogen by the IARC. "Evaluation. There is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of EBV in the causation of Burkitt's lymphoma, sinonasal angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, immunosuppression-related lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and nasopharyngeal carcinoma."

Epstein-Barr Virus INTRODUCTION VIROLOGY EPIDEMIOLOGY IMMUNOLOGY ... INTRODUCTION Epstein-Barr virus is a member of the gamma subfamily of the large herpes virus family. It is a double-stranded DNA virus consisting of 100 genes ( ). After initial infection, all herpesviruses remain latent in the body throughout one's life. Most people of the world are initially exposed to EBV as babies or young children and fail to develop illness. If first exposed during adolescence or adulthood, EBV will cause infectious mononucleosis about half the time. The symptoms of "mono," originally known as "glandular fever," include swollen lymph glands, sore throat, and fever. In most cases EBV is not known to reactivate after clearance of the primary infection. Instead, the host maintains a lifelong immunity to infectious mononucleosis. EBV is presently the most prolific viral contributor to the development of human lymphomas ( ). In the rare cases of immunodeficiency, such as AIDs patients, organ transplant recipients, and genetic immune disorders, the resident EBV will reactivate in the body, causing proliferation of abnormal lymphocytes and the potential for several different lymphomas ( ). It is thought that environmental, genetic, or chemical cofactors are behind the reason that in certain geographic areas, EBV is associated with Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Recent evidence also suggests that Hodgkin's lymphoma, T cell lymphomas, and some gastric carcinomas may be linked to EBV (

How is "mono" spread? What are the symptoms of "mono?" What are the signs of "mono?" ... Infectious Mononucleosis At A Glance What is "mono?" How is "mono" spread? "Mono" is usually spread by person to person contact. Saliva is the primary, but not exclusive, method of transmitting "mono." Infectious mononucleosis developed its common name of "kissing disease" from this prevalent form of transmission among teenagers. A person with "mono" can also pass the disease by coughing or sneezing, causing small droplets of infected saliva and/or mucous to be suspended in the air which can be inhaled by others. Sharing food or beverages from the same container or utensil can also transfer the virus from one person to another. Research studies have shown that, depending on the method used to detect the virus, anywhere from 20 and 80 percent of persons that have developed mononucleosis continue to secrete the EBV in their saliva for years! It is not clear, however, whether or not these individuals are infectious. It is of note that most persons who are exposed to the EBV do not develop mononucleosis. What are the symptoms of "mono?"

Epstein-Barr Virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the herpes virus family and is a very common infective agent. It is estimated that as many as 95% of all adults have been infected by the time they reach 40 years of age, though most people are infected by the time they reach 20. In more than half the population, EBV infections have no associated symptoms but the virus often causes infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) with resulting fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. It is rarely fatal in temperate regions but, in the tropics, it is associated with two forms cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Once Epstein-Barr virus has infected the body, it remains semi-dormant in both the immune system and in the throat. It then retains the ability to infect new people via the saliva - hence the title, “the kissing disease”. It does not appear to be transmissable via the blood or through the air. Epstein-Barr virus is relevant to multiple sclerosis because several studies have shown that people with MS have higher than expected levels of antibodies to the virus.

The Scientist 13[6]:1, Mar. 15, 1999 News Epstein-Barr Virus: Implicated in Cancer Etiology in China, Impetus for a Vaccine By Myrna E. Watanabe Virologist Hans Wolf of the University of Regensburg in Germany has been working on the etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in areas of China since 1979. Researchers from the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI), too, have been working with their Chinese colleagues on cancer epidemiology and etiology. The reasons for this cooperative research vary, but as Federico Welsch , associate director for international affairs at NCI, points out, "They have some cancers that are rare in the developed world." Among these are nasopharyngeal cancer, certain liver cancers, and esophageal cancer. Environmental factors have been implicated. Research by Wolf and Chinese colleagues Yi Zeng , chief of the department of tumor viruses at the Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine (CAPM) and former president of CAPM, Shu-Yan Gu , now deputy director of the National Center for AIDS Prevention and Control, and others, is leading to development of a vaccine. But in some areas of the world, especially parts of Asia and Africa, "the people develop nasopharyngeal carcinoma," states Wolf. And in areas of Africa where there is a high prevalence of malaria, people infected with EBV may later develop Burkitt's lymphoma. The Chinese develop NPC. Only a small percentage of those infected ever develop this cancer, but it seems that infection with EBV is one of the essential risk factors. Zeng and his colleagues found evidence of an EBV gene and EBV proteins in in vitro cell lines developed from nasopharyngeal carcinomas and in cell lines developed from NPC cells transplanted into nude mice.

The study results appear in the December 26, 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (www.jama.com). Blood samples from more than 62,000 women were collected between 1989 and 1999. The researchers documented 144 cases of MS including 18 cases with blood samples collected before the onset of the disease. For each woman with MS, two without MS, who were the same age were randomly chosen as controls. Compared to their controls, the women with MS had significantly higher average blood levels of antibodies for EBV antigens before the onset of the disease. The strongest association was found for antibodies for Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen-2 (EBNA-2). These levels increase soon after EBV infection but normally decline within a few months. In this study, elevated levels of EBNA-2 antibodies were associated with a four-fold increase in risk of MS.

The findings appear as a Brief Report in the March 26, 2003 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. The authors found increased antibody response to EBV occurs early in relation to the pathological process leading to MS and years before the onset of the first symptoms of MS. While the research implies a role for EBV in MS, it doesn’t show a cause and effect relationship. Further study is needed to demonstrate a plausible biological process.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Epstein-Barr virus test Definition Purpose Precautions Description ... Resources Definition The Epstein-Barr virus test is a blood test, or group of tests, to determine the presence or absence of antibodies in the blood stream directed against proteins of the Epstein-Barr virus, the cause of infectious mononucleosis Purpose The test is primarily used to detect whether first time infection (called primary infection) with the Epstein-Barr virus is currently occurring, or has occurred within a short period of time. The pattern of the antibodies detected can, however, tell if the person has never been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, or if the infection occurred in the more distant past. These tests are mostly utilized in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis when the more common diagnostic test, the heterophile antibody, is negative, or in situations where the infection is manifesting unusual symptoms. Therefore, the tests are often not needed in a situation where a doctor believes that a person has mononucleosis and the heterophile test (also called the monospot test) is positive. In addition, Epstein-Barr virus testing is usually not needed in the evaluation of a patient who has long-lasting
