Current epidemiological evidence for transmission of Hodgkin's disease.
The epidemiological evidence relating to the possibility of person-to-person transmission of Hodgkin's disease is reviewed. A number of studies are found to be difficult to interpret because of the absence of control data. It is concluded that, although certain studies are consistent with the hypothesis of person-to-person transmission, the evidence is a present weak and further epidemiological studies are needed.
