Improvement of enterovirus neutralization by treatment with sodium deoxycholate or chloroform.

Enterovirus strains which could be neutralized only partially or not at all by specific antiserum were readily accessible to the antibodies after treatment with sodium deoxycholate or chloroform. The latter treatment is simple and can be performed with crude virus suspensions of low titer. The method was particularly successful for routine typing of enterovirus 71 and coxsackievirus types A7 and A16.

Epstein-Barr virus related central nervous system lymphoma in a child after renal transplantation.

In this report, we describe the development of a rapidly progressive Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related cerebral lymphoma in an 11 year old girl, eight months after renal transplantation. No serological evidence for a persistent EBV infection was found, but Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) could be demonstrated in the tumor. The clinical course of our patient was different from EBV-related syndromes in renal transplanted patients described in previous reports. Furthermore, pathological investigations of the biopsy specimen and tumor cells obtained at necropsy revealed a discrepancy in light chain expression. The possibility that lymphoproliferative disorders represent multiclonal B cell lymphomas is discussed.
