“…42 While T cells in CHL are rendered incapable of mediating anti-tumor responses, there is some evidence to suggest that they may actually support RS cell growth and survival. CHL has been noted to develop during the immune response to active viral infections, such as acute Epstein-Barr virus mediated mononucleosis, 43 and during immune reconstitution following the initiation of antiretroviral therapy in HIV+ patients. 44 Mechanistically, T cells in CHL can promote RS cell survival and proliferation via CD40/CD40 ligand-mediated alternative activation of NF-kB; 45 this growth signal may be particularly important for the survival of RS cells, which have lost the ability to activate NF-kB through conventional B cell receptor-driven signals.…”

“…Serious doubts have therefore been cast on any specific or causal role for EBV in HD. This view gains support from the few descriptions of the simultaneous presentation of the two disorders [4,10], and even more, from the recent and previously unreported development of IM in a pa tient who, 3 years previously had undergone curative treatment for HD [7]. The purpose of this brief communication is to report the occurrence of IM in a further patient with established HD.…”
A patient who developed infectious mononucleosis while being treated for Hodgkin’s disease is presented. This pathological profile does not support the concept of a causal relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and Hodgkin’s disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
