EBV in  Hodgkin lymphoma :
Awesome picture showing presence of the EBV genome in a case of Hodgkin lymphoma as demonstrated immunohistochemically by the detection of LMP1 antigen.Individuals with a history of infectious mononucleosis have an increased incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma; patients with Hodgkin lymphoma have an altered antibody pattern to EBV prior to diagnosis;marked phenotypic similarities exist between infectious mononucleosis and Hodgkin lymphoma; and EBV genomes have been identified in Reed–Sternberg cells in up to half of the cases (particularly in the mixed cellularity subtype, in young patients, and/or in developing countries).
