The oropharynx is the site of primary infection and further propagation of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). From here, virus is shed to saliva and infects peripheral blood lymphocytes. Eight oral Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) were investigated for the presence of EBV both by immunohistochemistry for the latent membrane protein (LMP) and a PCR-strategy for general and subtype-specific viral sequences. All but one NHL turned out to be negative both by LMP and PCR. EBV general sequences and of the two viral subtypes A and B were found in an HIV-1+ patient. It is concluded that it is not the localisation which predetermines NHLs to EBV-positivity but merely the underlying disease (this study) or the type of tumour (previous studies).
