| incidence of infectious mononucleosis at the universities of california and hawaii. | the observed rates of heterophil-positive infectious mononucleosis at the university of california at davis and the university of hawaii at manoa were 1,212 and 37 per 100,000 students per academic year, respectively. the data collected suggest that the extraordinarily low incidence at the university of hawaii may be due to the following factors: (1) underutilization of the student health service by students with infectious mononucleosis; (2) low proportion of epstein-barr virus-seronegative stu ... | 1979 | 229170 |
| epstein-barr virus-associated gastric adenocarcinoma among japanese americans in hawaii. | this study confirms the observation that some gastric adenocarcinomas contain epstein-barr viral (ebv) sequences in their carcinoma cells. ebv sequences were detected by polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization in the tumors of 19 of 187 (10.2%) japanese-american men and women living in hawaii. the ebv-associated gastric cancers were more frequently present in men than in women: 14 of 99 (14.3%) men versus 5 of 88 (5.7%) women (p = 0.046). ebv type a was found in 17 of the 19 ebv-asso ... | 1993 | 8391356 |
| genetic polymorphism of natural epstein-barr virus isolates from infectious mononucleosis patients and healthy carriers. | we analyzed epstein-barr virus (ebv) genomes from lymphoblastoid cell lines isolated from patients with infectious mononucleosis and from healthy subjects from california, hawaii, and hong kong between 1970 and 1987. using genetic polymorphism as epidemiological markers, we found that several genotypes of ebv cocirculate in a community and that although most ebv strains isolated from california and southern china may be differentiated genotypically, there was no specific association between geno ... | 1988 | 2901499 |
