| family environment is associated with endemic burkitt lymphoma: a population-based case-control study. | endemic burkitt's lymphoma (ebl) has been linked to epstein-barr virus and holoendemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. these co-infections, however, are insufficient to explain the non-random occurrence of endemic burkitt's lymphoma within equatorial africa. to explore whether this distribution could be explained by household characteristics and family environment, we conducted a case-control study using 41 hospitalized incident endemic burkitt's lymphoma cases and 91 healthy controls identified ... | 2008 | 18256442 |
| microgeographic variations in burkitt's lymphoma incidence correlate with differences in malnutrition, malaria and epstein-barr virus. | endemic burkitt's lymphoma (ebl) has been associated with epstein-barr virus (ebv) and holoendemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. but recent evidence suggests that other risk factors are involved. | 2010 | 21102592 |
| exposure to holoendemic malaria results in elevated epstein-barr virus loads in children. | perennial and intense malaria transmission (holoendemic malaria) and epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection are 2 cofactors in the pathogenesis of endemic burkitt lymphoma (ebl). in the present study, we compared ebv loads in children living in 2 regions of kenya with differing malaria transmission intensities: kisumu district, where malaria transmission is holoendemic, and nandi district, where malaria transmission is sporadic. for comparison, blood samples were also obtained from us adults, kenyan ... | 2005 | 15776368 |
