abstract = {This study is a review of current knowledge concerning the pathogeny of infection by the 
Epstein-Barr virus. An analysis is made of the biological events that take place in primary 
infection, persistent chronic infection, oncogenic transformation, and viral co-infections. 
Phenomena surrounding the non-specific clonal stimulation of B lymphocytes are 
explained. A review is also made of clinical laboratory tests available for the 
serodiagnosis of primary and persistent chronic infections, including the clinical 
significance of different classes of antibody, the value of IgG avidity assays and the use of 
recombinant antigens in diagnostic equipment. The characteristics of commercially 
available equipment are also reported. Laboratory procedures based on previous protocols
are proposed. Finally, the tests that can be used to detect virus-related tumors are 
discussed.},
