Epstein-Barr Virus Infection Is Common in Inflamed Gastrointestinal Mucosa
2012
Background and Aims
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is present in the malignant epithelial cells of 10% of all gastric adenocarcinomas; however, localization of the virus in normal gastrointestinal mucosa is largely unexplored. In the present study, we measured EBV DNA and localized viral gene products in gastritis specimens (n = 89), normal gastric and colonic mucosa (n = 14), Crohn’s disease (n = 9), and ulcerative colitis (n = 11) tissues.
