Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and Plasmodium falciparum coinfections. Malaria appears to dysregulate immunity that would otherwise control EBV, thereby contributing to eBL ...

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms and risk of endemic Burkitt lymphoma

Oduor, Cliff I; Chelimo, Kiprotich; Ouma, Collins; Mulama, David H; Foley, Joslyn; Vulule, John; Bailey, Jeffrey A; Moormann, Ann M (The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014-09-03)
