title: [Comparative study of anti EBV antibodies in non-Hodgkin's lymphomams and angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathies (author's transl)].
abstract: Antibody titers to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)--related antigens (viral capsid antigen : VCA; early antigen : EA; and EBV associated nuclear antigen : EBNA) were determined in the sera of 86 patients and 150 matched control subjects. The patients belonged to four histological groups : diffuse and nodular non-hodgkin's lymphomas angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathies and apparented syndroms. The incidence of antibodies to other herpes-viruses (cytomégalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and varicella zoster virus) was compared. There was a significantly higher incidence of anti VCA and anti EA titers in some patients, not associated with an increase in titres of antibodies to other herpes viruses.
