Abstract
In 141 patients with African Burkitt's lymphoma, the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related antibody titers and the clinical course of this disease was presented. Antiviral capsid antigen tests gave positive results in all patients, siblings, and control neighbors; but the geometric mean antibody titers to viral capsid antigen were significantly higher in patients than in siblings or neighbors (PPPP<0.001) between skin reactivity and EBNA titers appeared. Pretreatment sera from patients with high EBNA titers did not block skin reactivity to the RAJI antigen.Keywords
