Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

Abstract The Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) is the most recently discovered member of the herpesvirus family. This virus has been found to be associated with three well recognized disease entities: Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and infectious mononucleosis (IM). Each of these may manifest itself in a fashion which involves the clinical area of interest of the otolaryngologist. A brief summary of the pertinent clinical aspects and the research findings of the past seven years which have implicated the EBV will be reviewed.
