Popis: Summary The aetiology of primary intestinal lymphoma (PIL) is not known. In this paper virus capsid antibodies (VCA) in sera from 43 lymphoma patients (40 PIL, three Burkitt type lymphoma) were compared to thirty-nine control sera taken from patients who were age and sex matched to the lymphoma patients. The results indicate that VCA antibody levels are not significantly raised in patients with PIL; this contrasts with the marked rise in antibodies found in Burkitt's lymphoma.
