Abstract
Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is known to be common in regions where holo-endemic or hyperendemic malarial conditions exist. It has been postulated (1) that on the base of intense and prolonged malarial infection the lymphoreticular system (LRS) may be prone to malignant change in the presence of, or induced by, some viruses This hypothesis would be supported by the finding that all BL patients have high antibody titers to the Epstein-Barr virus (2), and that the EB virus could be demonstrated in tissue cultures set up from Burkitt lymphomas (3).
