Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with around one-third of cases, but young adult cases are rarely EBV associated. In this study, known oncogenic DNA viruses, including human adenoviruses, papovaviruses and the human herpesviruses-6 (HHV-6) and -8 (HHV-8) were not detected in Hodgkin's disease lesions. These results suggest that an as yet unidentified infectious agent is involved in the pathogenesis of non-EBV-associated Hodgkin's disease.
