Part of the book series: Transplantation and Clinical Immunology ((TRAC,volume 27))

Abstract

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a human B-lymphotropic herpes virus that causes infectious mononucleosis. It has also been associated with a number of primary and reactivated diseases, such as Burkitt lymphoma (BL), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease and X-linked lymphoproliferative disease.
