Abstract

Exhaustive information on the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family, is described at the International Herpes Management Forum web-site. Cervical cancer associations, AIDS treatment projects, and the Los Alamos National Laboratories provide useful information on papillomavirus infections, as well as hyperlinks to recent international papillomavirus conferences. A private pharmaceutical company, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, has launched a lively web-site covering different aspects of microbial infections for the general public.

Epstein-Barr virus-associated hodgkin's disease in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.

UNLABELLED: Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency syndrome in which the majority of malignant complications are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We report here a Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome patient who developed Epstein-Barr virus-positive Hodgkin's disease in the bilateral pulmonary hilar lymph nodes. The treatment was successful as the patient achieved a complete response and event-free survival for more than 4 y. CONCLUSION: This case is very rare, but highly suggestive of the immune-mediated mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Epstein-Barr virus-associated Hodgkin's disease in an immunodeficiency patient.
